The old 2000 era ZX6Rs are really comfy for a pretty quick bike.

I wouldnt insure a vehicle at anywhere other than my normal home address just to get a lower premium,at least not after telling the whole world what I did on a public forum.That would be a waste of £640 because the insurance wouldnt be valid.
And yes they do look at these things and keep extensive information databases to save themselves from paying out.

Or worse, your insurance could find it and backdate/check your miliage claims against your MOT.

You just sound like you've got a lot of growing up to do that's all because that can't care attitude is short lived, your asking for advise but then when people are telling you the truth you reject the majority of it with a ' I don't care' attitude? Catch 22?

Just my 2 cents..

Thread timeline as I see it:

Joe asks about hayabusas ..... (fine)
Load of jewish mothers and holier than thou types come out with bollox .... Joe ignores them (fine)
Couple of people who've actually ridden big bikes tell him to get a 600.... (fine)
Joe goes and looks for a 600....


How is this last bit "ignoring advice" other than the sh*te from people who know nowt? Does it really warrant a patronising and insulting remark that adds no useful content to the thread?

Joe can often talk some infantile b*llocks, granted. If people who purport to know better could be nice enough to maintain a level of IQ in their posts above room temperature that shows better it would be nice...

[ChrisCurvyS]

All of them.

Riders/writers from the original FB who were racers include Sean Emmett, Jason Emmett, Shane Byrne, Gary Mason, Rob Frost... you should have heard of all of them as they've been/are successful world class competitors.
Yeah thought I heard the name Shakey mentioned a few times but couldn't be sure which pixel he was.

Ironically, you'd probably struggle to set up a bike mag written by young racers now as lots of them don't have road licences as it's so fecking complicated and expensive to do.

Was really eye-opening watching how wild they were back then.

[Dicky Ticker]

I would like to point out that the OP does contradict himself or leave himself open to criticism. and perhaps that is what is being referred to.
Joe asks about Busas with a restricted licence
People tell him not to squander his money
People suggest progress through the power range
Joe looks at a 600 still with a restricted licence

What ever bike he gets he still has a restricted licence so the bike is limited in the power output.

Sorry I just can''t figure the guy out,two SVs in a year and a quad he can't legally ride are perhaps why he is getting the type of replies he is.

I was under the belief that Joe did want to ride on the road,perhaps I'm wrong--------you can ride /drive anything you want without a licence off the road under proper circumstances,i.e. track licence.

[yorkie_chris]

you can ride /drive anything you want without a licence off the road under proper circumstances,i.e. track licence.

No licence whatsoever is required off the public road, by law. All you need is permission to be there.

Track licences are just paper, no legal value, just a caveat of getting permission to use some particular pieces of private land.

[shonadoll]

Oh yes! ;) This is why I cant wait to go germany haha...

Sorry mate but advising someone to STFU when they are posting about insurance fraud in public is good advice.Take it or leave it.

[yorkie_chris]

No it doesn't, i.e means "id est" or "that is"...indicating a single option.

I mean you are fine to ride on any land you want so long as you have permission from the landowner.

(as examples, there are many pay-and-play sites where no licence is required to take your vehicle... land rovers, quads, motocrossers, trials bikes, etc.)

[Spank86]

Technically I.E. would only fit if a track licence was the ONLY way to fulfil the criteria but I don't really care how it's used, I was only interjecting because the question was raised.

[Dicky Ticker]

There I go ,wrong again. but I didn't think it should be used as capital letters.

As Joe doesn't have a full licence I presumed he would need some sort of track licence as in race licence before he was allowed to go hurtling round a track as the track owner has to cover himself for public liability.For a person on a full licence at a track day this is what part of your fee is for.
I had one acquaintance who was banned for DD but he could still race as he had his race licence

[Spank86]

Not really no, lower case is preferred but I was being lazy.

I'm not sure but I think on a few 'run what you bring' days at tracks you don't need a track/race licence but I'm not sure.

[Dicky Ticker]

If that is the case " Run what you bring" is his answer
A 12 year old can turn up with his dads R1 and be on the same track as me if that is the case---------no thanks,can't see that as the track owner has to have insurance.

So where is Joe going to ride his unrestricted sports bike?

First thing you did wrong is tell then its restricted, they add like £400 on . It isnt invalid insurance, its what your bike needs due to your license. Plus i'll be 20 the day i want the insurance . And bridlinton has the lowest postcode group in the uk as im aware of.
Just do another quote without putting down it restricted

Go for it, life's for living and I'm sure 70mph on a Hayabusa is the same as 70mph on an SV. It's pretty obvious that you're not going to open it full throttle on a bend in the snow outside a primary school where children are building snowmen in the road.

Haha, made me laugh :)

Ps They look funny ??

I agree. Not the best looking bike in my opinion.

[PyroUK]

hi, firstly on topic...

I love busa for the sheer barmy power of the things, i have always wanted one, sat on one at my local dealers and IMO was stupidly comfy, too comfy in fact. I imagined that would keep me off the ball somewhat if i rode one. I would love to ride one but dont think i will ever get one.

I am aiming at an r6 in a couple of years.

lastly and this is the more important thing (apologies for the rant)....

what you have posted here could result in the loss of your licence, fines and potentially jail time.

If you have a restricted licence and you remove the restriction your insurance will not be valid. It is a requirement of the licence and if removed you are riding outside of the requirements making the licence in valid and thusly the insurance invalid. bike would likely get cubed or auctioned. plus all the usual penalties for no insurance only worse as technically riding without a licence.

If you do not declare this to the insurers which will be hard as prev explained if your circumstances are such that you have to have a restriction, you are failing to disclose a material fact. this could 1. invalidate your insurance (if you are lucky) 2. attract a premium loading (if you are lucky) 3. result in in prosecution under the Fraud Act 2006 as you will be guilty of fraud by failing to disclose. Not only this but the posts here have shown intent to defraud, this can also attract prosecution. Under the new fraud act you do not actually have to commit the offence if it can be shown that there was intent.

i am a fraud investigator, albeit not in the motor insurance industry, but my close friend and colleague was. he used to work in motor and has dealt with things like this before.

my advice to you is this, get a bike you can ride legally. when the time is right you can get your mental bike.

remove any posts you have made that state or infer that you wish to commit fraud. Context means very little to some companies and investigators, so even if said as a joke you could be heavily penalised.

dont make any future posts of a similar nature in a public domain, forum, facebook, twitter etc. its just dumb.

lastly please for the love of god, ride safe, you might not care about dieing but there are far worse things than death. such as surviving a bad accident as a para/quadriplegic after injurung or killing an innocent bystander. Could you live with the guilt?

Please use your head, be sensible and be smart!

Where did you get this information from? Third Party Insurance will still be vaild, the two are seperate offences. The offence is Driving Not in Accordance of a Driving Licence, yes a vehicle can be sezied for that. Yes there is way get insurance removed from someone.

Its unlikely to be considered fraud, it does depend on what is said at the time to gain insurance and it has to proved insurance was aquired through dishonsty. It won't result in a prison term, caution and a fine is possiable depends. It has be serious for prison that it depends on several factors which aren't worth talking about here. If you crash or ride like a nob with that in mind, more serious offences can be considered.

So just be careful what you say, giving the people the wrong advice isn't much use and displays you lack of understanding of basic law.

I think Joe is aware of what he can and can't do. Joe if you want that bike get it, like I said get a few NCB under belt, do your two years and go test ride one then come back say what you though of the experince. Just do it becasue its fun, some of you are so:smt015

So over a £1000 a year for insurance who will run faster than a rat out of an aquaduct at the first sign of a claim.

The smart money would be to spend half the £1000 on new suspension for the SV and the other half on some advanced riding lessons. The pay back would be huge and much better riding skills and a better handling bike. However, today's yoofs won't be told.

There were 10 million less people in the UK and the average house had one car so roads much quieter, plus bikes much slower. Whilst the X7 speedo might have indicated 100 mph it was also known to way out.

And they also had forks that bent under the pitiful force of the brakes and suicidal tyres.
The standard of safety kit was non existent and drink driving was common. What's your point?

Hey ho... I'm all about being a genuine rider who can ride better than the bike actually looks, rather than an amazing looking bike or super fast bike that I can't ride properly.

Errr, you do realise you are making reference to about 85% of folks that ride bikes, don't you?....probably more like 90% for the forum :p

And of course 'amazing looking' and/or 'super fast' doesn't really apply to the SV650...it's not known as a 'girls bike' for nothing :D

I knew a guy riding a full power zx6 on his restricted license. Thought he was cool until a wise copper pulled him. He had a certificate to say it was restricted, but still got banned. This thread is just ammo for the anti bike brigade. Joe, if you're riding outside of your licence you deserve to be caught. Nothing personal but you racing around without the proper entitlements and openly talking about it on the internet isn't good.

Okay okay, maybe not 'cant ride properly', but i want to try my best at being my best at riding. Not riding the best looking shiny bling thing around town but still hasnt ever heard of counter steering and thinks I go faster cos I've taken the baffles out.

What were the specifics of that? What did he get banned for?

[LewSpeight]

Yeh, I heard its a straight 3 year ban, because of insurance and what not...

May be completely wrong though

[yorkie_chris]

With respect, "I heard" is the root of all the bullsh*t myths about myths, insurance, restriction, everything.

The results of court cases tend to get published in the local paper, it should be fairly straightforward to give accountable facts in discussions like this.

[rb8989]

The specifics were, he came into work on foot with a long face. I remember he said they basically told him he didn't have the correct licence for the vehicle and it could have been a car he was driving. He did however still have insurance and his insurer told him he was still covered third party only.

Also, another friend got banned for taking a pillion on his 125, think he got points for riding without the correct entitlements and he was uninsured for a pillion, so similar result.

Aye Chris, I'm aware. Was kinda hoping somebody would either fly in from no where and scream bullpoo, or come in and give us the factual information we all crave

[Pete7]

or come in and give us the factual information we all crave

What in a thread about a 19 year old riding off into the sunset on a hayabusa with a restricted licence, the blessing of his insurance company whilst the police stop and salute.

There is more chance of three wise men deciding to follow a star and finding a virgin giving birth :rolleyes: but lets not destroy a good Christmas Pantomime on here :D

Haha! Funny thread. Imagine someone just joining this thread and only reading the new comments. They would probably think that:

a) Joe is an idiot;
b) He's a criminal;
c) He's a stupid criminal;
d) He's a nutter;
e) All of the above.

... Or they might read the thread and see that the flaming is utterly pointless because maybe 27 pages ago the serious discussion ended. However, I'm sure there will be more sanctimonious posts to keep me entertained.

Flame away! Lol

Joe you are and always have been a total legend mate, long may you reign :) xGx

That sound about right, driving without a licence would make sense as the offence.
