I think the BBC did most of its study on racetracks.

The standard of reporting on the BBC these days seems to be going down the khazi.

If I wanted sensationalist bullsh*t I'd watch channel 5.

Yes, but I was commenting on the amount of discount. If they were more expensive than others the you may not be their target customer.


I was with bikesure when I had my 125 and they quoted me £400 LESS than MCE. Until I had the accident :/ then they couldn't quote me at all...

I really hope this isnt true. Surely if I've had my k5 for 3 years and have 5 years no claims I can't be penalized because suddenly 750 start sliding down the road left right and centre. How does that make me a liability

You need to off load it quick.
I'll make space for it in my fleet so it can have a happy retirement.
