~£360 third party only for my SV.
Only £64 to add another SV to the policy.

Thats with ebike, my old man saved £100 with them, seem good so far.

+1 for going with the SV mate, good fun, fast enough on 33bhp(well kind of :\)

Magnum, your 17 and insurance quotes on anything are going to be pretty steep.
Personally, and please don't be offended, just for now get something thats going to be less expensive for you, for a while. Anybody up to the age of 25 finds it hard to get good quotes for insurance, I remember my brother at your age with a car...he needed to be a gazzilionaire! Hes had some cacky cars but has brought his insurance down to where he can have something a bit more upmarket than a citreon saxo innit
I'd maybe wait a year before going after all that glitters and is gold, we all want something special, but sometimes we have to hold back for the right moment.

Not a bad idea. Perhaps i could have a little help getting it for my 18th? It will be around a years NCB by then. It's still a lot sooner than i was planning on upgrading from the SV, but is probably more sensible.

I dont find it hard

I'm alright too TBH. I could probably insure the SV for <£200. Not really crippling.
