CBR400's

[Demonic69]

I think this is the bike I've settled on. What do you guys think about them?
I'm probably looking for one about 1990.
Cheers!

Hi

If you want to save yourself all the headaches of upgrading later, go 4 an R6 or some other 600cc and get it 'restricted'.

You will also find that 400's are relatively more expensive to buy than 600's.

An older CBR600 will set u back a song......

thats the only thing stopping me from gettin a 6

that and the fact it would feel to big, too much of a jump from a scoot

400 is the smallest REAL sports bike you can get

[Keen]

how much do you reckon insurance for a 400 will be for me? I'm 18 with no NCB. I went to look at a CBR400 in a dealers and he told me to get some quotes first cos I might be un-insurable

[WildGoose]

scoob was gettin some for about 800 TPO

i looked around for a bit, i got 750 TPO and 1400 TPFT, im 17 with 1 year NCB

[Demonic69]

Goose, how did you get 1yr ncb at 17??
I'm looking at £500 for 20 with no ncb, but I'll be adding to my current policy. When I come to renew I'll be 21 with 1 year NCB

£1500 private sale, some guy I met at RS 's wife!

congratulations on the new bike!! Your lucky getting those colours as well cos most of the CBR's I've seen have rubbish paint job's. Black and silver sounds nice

I'm glad to hear that that dealer is probably wrong. The thing is that they have 2 shops (one just down the street on the other side of the road from the first) with the smaller one kept locked and used for storage. The CBR was in there and I turned up just before closing, so he probably just couldn't be arsed to show me it. Any excuse to get rid of me!

[Annabella]

Yea, dealers tend to be utter chimps (no relation whatsoever to the estimable monkeys). They haveto be in the right mood...Some I have problems with and I just dont ever use them (like Wiley and Hollands.....)
