Talking to a younger rider who was riding a CBF1000 but wanted a Street Triple told me they are expensive to insure (only costs me £120 FC with protected NC and legal but been riding for donkeys).

It's got to be an SV really or similar

I have recently realised that having a bike for the first few years that can be fixed fairly cheapily is a really good idea, anything to get away from making unnecessary claims if it's dropped. Get a few years without claims first then go for something the heart desires, then you'll atleast have some NCD still there even if you claim (lose 2 years on a claim right?)

I wish, would rather have one of them than the ZX636..

I don't think I could go with a 125 again, not enough power & I'm 12 stone, when I was learning I never had that over 68mph even with my head down literally licking the tank.

a nice second hand zxr400 maybe?


I saw a really tidy one go from a local dealership not so long back so there are some about

When I was growing up that was gonna be my first bike...then I didn't get a motocycle for a looooong time
