Default Evening....

I know I know ..... I shouldn't have but the GSXR-600 2003 model was looking too damn sexy so I bought it as my first bike for ?3300 .

On the plus side TPFT insurance for it is only ?600 which is by far the cheapest. Will post picture up once I go pick it up next saturday.

I am so happy (drool). lol

your first bike? Well it was nice knowing you!

Seriously, I'll be looking at the 04 for my next bike (at the end of the year).

As long as you can afford it, its fine for a first bike.

If you ride like a **** you'll come unstuck, but thats true of any bike really.

On the subject of insurance... how much should a 600 sport cost on average? I'm 26 & have a couple of years no claims, the SV cost me ?320 fully comp last year. Did a quote on a new ZX-6R out of interest and the best I could find was approx ?900!

Congrats re the gixxer purchase!

You should be able to get that down a bit Dave.

These days insurers have a look at what your last bike was(well mine seem to) so they will notice that a ninja is a step up from a SV.

I think im paying £450 for my R6(i can never remember exactly how much!) i'm 21 with 3 years NCB.

I was looking into a R1 for next year and that was £700.

SV650 to zx6r?? Hardly a huge step up? I mean, what else could you have in between?

has he had an SV then?

and I'd say that about double the horsepower is a fair step, yes!
