2800 will get you something pretty decent, but I can't comment on the insurance. 400 sounds reasonable for test. Don't forget you need to do your CBT, theory test, lessons and test. It all adds up. You also want to be looking at 400 (upwards) approx for helmet, boots, gloves, leathers etc. Buy the best you can afford.

The SV responds quite well to the restriction. ie. it isn't a complete dog to ride restricted. If you get a curvey with carbs, the restriction is a washer in the carbs (as I understand). A pointy with FI will have a restricted ECU.
