Another newbie

[ScottishPaul]

Alright guys, not got my bike yet but pretty sure I'll be going for a nice SV650S pointy as my first bike. Was google trawling and found this site, looks good.

Not passed my test yet either, had my part 1 booked and on the practice I had before it my emergency stop turned into an emergency fall and now I've got a nice pin in my thumb, soon as its out though I'll be booking both tests.

welcome, sorry to hear of the off. good to hear your going for it again. the SV is an excelent bike. good luck with the tests

[Quedos]

Good to see that your getting right back on

Welcome to the loony bin!! ( looks like you'll fit right in if you want a pointy!)

Bad luck with the tumble Paul. The SV is a damn good bike and you could develop your skill on far worse. Nice to have you join us.

I am selling a Blue Pointy if you want one (2006 Plate)

6 months road tax and a years MOT

[ScottishPaul]

I will probably be going down the finance route, not got the funds to get it cash. Especially with it being more of a toy than getting used for commuting or that, I've got my car for that.

Hows it for insurance compared to other bikes? I've been looking at quotes of around £730 for fully comp, guessing thats probably as cheap as I can expect being fresh on the two wheels.

[sephy666]

As far as I know, Its really good, and considering how quick it is. I am about £270 a year fully comp with 2 years NCB. but I have some restrictions being under 25, they are really good bikes for starting off, just dont hit the throttle too hard, or you will get a surprise

[ScottishPaul]

I'm 22 mate, will be paying over the odds for that but I'm used to it, my car insurance is only now getting to reasonable rates. Just need to put up with the high premiums til I get a few more birthdays and some bike experience and bike ncb.
