Insurance - What should I buy?
#31
Are you sure ?? i tohught it was over 125cc, meaning you couldnt ride a 125 on the motorway either,

But yeah restricted bikes dont count so you'v only been riding real bikes for a year Tongue

Learners cant go on motorways, they ride up to 125 cc, Its easy to get confused. I had to ring the dvla up to make sure at the time

Also you have to able to do over 38mph.

I do have 4 years no claims on a full bike licence but they wouldn't accept them :/

ouch they really do sting New drivers. Im assuming you are 25+ years old aswell having had a full bike license for 4 years

I've had a full licence since I was 18 now 22 .. Everywhere I looked for insurance they're all In this price range some a lot more!

Few years no claims under my belt and hopefully have it a lot cheaper

If you pass your bike test at 18, think it's below the age of 21, you are on a restriction to 33bhp for 2 years. But can still ride any size bike ( as long as it was restricted to 33bhp)

Had a zxr400 when I was 18, various other bikes inbetween and current bike is a k7 gsxr Smile

It's dead easy. It's mainly about control. If you know how to ride a bike then your half way there. Consists of two parts, the obstacle course & the on road part. YouTube it, you have to go round a few cones do figure of 8's ect really easy if you have good control on a bike. Then for the road part it's mainly getting use to positioning of bike when approaching junctions. Mirrors, safety check ect. There's a lot going on when it comes to that lol

It isn't that expensive either. I might need to be corrected on this one but you have to sit a theory test again & do a CBT.

I think I'll give it a go, doesn't sound that hard considering I've plenty of experience. Always had field bikes when I was a kid (couldn't afford a crosser) and rode an XL125 on a CBT when I was 18 for a few months, so I've had a few anyway and my bike handling has always been pretty good having ridden road bikes round a muddy quarry a wet road shouldn't be an issue. I've had a couple of C90s, a Puch Maxi, an MZ 250, a Regent 125 (basically a UK market Minsk), and a KLX650 that I had as a field bike for years. Then I had the XL125 for a year; that's the only one that saw the road.

I'd love an old GPz900, wanted one ever since I saw Top Gun as a kid lol
