By comparison with our NPPL the maximum permissible weights and speeds are still a little restrictive as our max weight is 2000Kg (approx 4400 lbs) and 140 knots (150-ish MPH) if my memory serves me correctly. If I have got the figures wrong you can bet someone on here will soon put me right.

but still plenty enough to hurt yourself.

Most lightplanes are in this range. If someone wants to go flying something bigger I for one would be happier if it was not on an NPPL.

The Rearwin (Big, American, WW2 era, radial engine) is 1900kg
