Have to agree here.

Cheers Mark.

Okay lets put insurance into perspective like in another thread, I have an SV on insurance already, around £450 fully comp i think...

I've sorted mine out for my commuter/pootling around with the missus on maybe bike, I've valued it at £500 and that it will stay with my SV tucked up and that i won't do that many miles on it. Its £66 for the rest of my term which ends in December And its larger than a 125. And wil likely get me 160-180 miles (maybe more) to £10 Thats saving for ya

hehehe!!
I'm insured 3rd F&T for 325 quid.
As for a 125, just got a quote on a honda xlr125 for £186.99... or 51 quid and 9 payments of 20 quid... bugger all really. Considering i've paid my insurance off for the SV, that's 20 quid a month for two bikes!

(only passed last friday haha)
