What exactly is it that your asking us?
Im sure your KMX and Bandit are both great bikes, and if you own and can legally ride both at 18, then i dont see what your problem is? If your looking at selling one of your bikes, then depending on what you use it for, i would say to keep the Bandit and sell your 125, as obviously a bigger bike is better for all round road use, and should last you a while, before you get bored with it. small trail bikes like the KMX are great fun in town/off road, but remember that insurance is never that cheap on these bikes, as they are probably the most commonly stolen of all bikes, as all the scumbag kids want them for off road use.

I think that your karma will go through the floor if you keep talking in text message speak.

I think that if you are insured on the bandit, then get rid of the KMX.

I think that the peak power of your bike is slightly worrying, especially when bandits usually make 75 odd bhp. I think you need to sort your jetting. I also think that no one really needs to know what the top speed of your bike is. I think Bandits generally do around 130.

And I think that I should welcome you to the forum!

Welcome!

Well, you wanted to know what we think!

Incidentally your insurance quote for the bandit sounds a very good deal. Bandit motors are quite tuneable too.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

so your 18, you got a bandit of 71bhp? Strage seen as you have to have a bike restricted to 33bhp for 2 years which would you 16 when you passed your test, which is not legally do able!

[zxr400baby]

well personally i don't think its worth the risk, my mate wrote off his sv650, and had to pay to have a kit put back on his mangled bike just to ensure the insurance wasn't void! Make it up after the 2 years, much more sensible option!

[Laura]

You just give them the restriction license or put them back in I have no restrictors in my bike and I am only 4 months into my restriction.

Exactly.

Most people get their bikes restricted for the certificate.

Then they'll go for a little ride to a BCF meet and they might just happen to... fall out.

i am talking from what i know, and to be honest i wouldn't want stress that he had trying to get them put back in, two years is nothing when you have got the rest of your life!

[Robby]

Oh, because putting restrictors in is such a hardship.

[FLASH]

my insurance is on my kmx but im gona get it changed over to my bandit when i get paid if i have enough money ! When i had my bandit put onto the rolling road the guy said that my 71hp was ok and that most standard bandits have got 68hp ! ive never had the restrictoin plates in still in the packet and ive had my licence for about 7 or 8 months off the top of my head ! U gotta take a risk to live a little every now and then !!!

Can you just explain the purpose of this thread? Are you wanting us to say your bikes are great and we are really jealous?

[craigT19]

My zx6 has been full power since i got it, my first crash was repaired on the insurance...and they never even asked about restriction because if you read your policy documents, they insure you for the bike as it is rated on the data base (full power). i have never been asked to provide my restriction documents....and i don't know many that have.

Besides there was no way i was spending 4 grande on little more than a big green rs125 lol

Your documents are likely to be asked for in the event of a serious claim when they start getting thier legal teams involved as they just want a way of not paying out. Goose got asked for his.

[zxr400baby]

yeah, that was the same with my mate, he had to have everything investigated, so needed them in quick!!!
