Why don't you get Danny to take a look at the insurance. I hear he's pretty effective getting cheaper insurance for people

Actually I'm partial to the new GS500F, same bike with full fairing and a front mounted oil radiator. Slick, Lightweight and still has power, and fortunately with the new fairing, a much more pleasant ride on the highway.

Cheers.

Im 19, got cbr400 gullarm paying 500 squids. 0 years N.C.B. First bike... tpft

Its one of the best. For a first bike it will take you ages untill you can outride it... Very good bike, especially first sports bike.

(you sure it hasn't already been crashed-maybe covered up with new paint job?)

Wow... you guys get robbed for insurance in the UK!!!

I'm 32 and pay $28 USD a month for my Katana 750 on top of the $128 that insures my wife and I both on our car.

I asked one of my chums who is 17 and has a 97 CBR/600 and he pays $400 every six months, which is what? just shy of 200 GBP I think?

As long as its the nc30, its an excellent choice.

Told you you could get that insurance cheap didn't I?

Code:
(you sure it hasn't already been crashed-maybe covered up with new paint job?)



Most 400s have been down. I think the japs has to pick one up (dropped) as part of they test anyway.

Mine has been down on both sides, before me. I've put it down once, on grass...

A long as its mechanically fine, shouldnt be a problem... Cosmetics always come second to mechanics for me... Thumbs Up

Its an old bike, and it'll get abused untill you learn to ride it properly. So its worth it (buying a cheaper bike). Honda reliability helps...
