Well I'm 17, I've done Pass Plus, and my insurance on a 1.25L is just under £2000.
It's only the first year that costs a lot... as long as you don't make a claim.

they also judge it on car robberys in ur area where its parked over nite

 

[>DMX<]

There just death traps anyways, luckily you aint injured.

agreed with DMX, i'm yet to see a sensible motorcycle rider.

Living in London and parking it on the street... that good enough?





But yeah, motorcycles are a waste of money in my opinion. So easy to write off and you're more likely to kill yourself than anyone else in an accident.

terrible actually as far as insurance goes, street parked car more likely to get side swiped, and london has a high crime rate, and maybe even bombed these days.

they aint a death trap tbh, when you ride bike's like these you Have to be allert motorbikes are only death trap's when it comes to moped's

agreed with DMX, i'm yet to see a sensible motorcycle rider.

tbh alot of the people who ride supersport motorbikes take care they no the power of the bike, like mine it's only a 125 22bhp but it's quick as hell can reach the 85mph mark could reach 110mph when derestricted to 33bhp

how can you say motorbike's are a waste of money, yes you can buy a good 2nd hand car for a brand new bike but car's have more fault's then bike's, motorbikes only screw up if you mistreat it, you cannot own a bike and rag it, you have to treat it with respect


getting my new one within the week i would never goto a car tbh my point of view car's are more dangerous then bike's car drivers get very lazy im hopin togo for a car when 25 due to insurance dropping alot. but this will make me more aware of what dangers are out there tbh this is my point of view everyone should ride a motorbike for atleast one year before going for a car you pick up so many good habbit's when riding. Car's are jsut a death trap

My insurance is alot higher because of where I live, takes piss.

If i do i in my Dads address it goes down by about £200.

 

[Colonel]

yup ridiculous isnt it so many things u can tweak on the policy that changes the price from ur address, where u park over nite, most policys judge ur char by its size and power rather than its speed.
