swapping my nsr for a kawasaki offroader

[supersports]

i haven't seen pics of the bike yet but i definitely want a kawasaki motocross bike. I would keep the nsr but its pointless as i cant afford to have it repaired again and can't ride it offroad during my licence ban will it be cheaper to insure than an nsr?

If you're talking an actual motocross bike (125cc), then it would be illegal to ride on a 33hp restricted licence, never mind on a CBT.
The bike would be Q plated and likely be quite a bit more expensive to insure, presuming you're young.

Why do you need to insure an offroad bike?

Either buy one that's already road legal, something like a DT, even if you don't bother MOT-ing it etc when you are only using it off road (assuming you've found somewhere legal to use it that is), then when you finish your ban it'll be easy to get it on the road.

No worries, if you carry on riding bikes like youve ridden you nsr.
itll be either wrapped around a tree or have a damaged big end by the time your license ban ends.

If i was you id sell the NSR put most of the money in a savings account and buy a push bike by the time your ban is up you'll be able to buy a more sensible bike that you can actually maintain

in that time You might have actually taken advice from people on here and you might get somewhere

a dirt bike and a motocross bike are very similar not in looks but performance and maintenance

i have friends who have both 1 has a DTR 125 which is pretty rapid and he uses castrol oil in and rarely has any problems what so ever apart from the odd cold start problems

but also have a mate who has a YZ125 which is a whole different machine this thing accelerates like fuck but he uses shit loads of castrol oil and has to change the spark plug every other 2 or 3 rides (Excessive but helps apparently)

But trying to get anything into stupidsports head is like trying to get a 2 legged horse to win the grand national

dont doubt his store house of knowledge for a second, just pointing out theres a bit of a difference between a 650 and a 125 on a cbt

act like you should actually be on the road and you would"t have a problem with it
