[Irdawood the 2nd]

Heya people,

This is probably a boring post for most, but I soo cant wait to get my bike this weekend from the dealer, paid 6k for it. Extras i got were Blue flame high mount, data tag and also R&G crash bungs uppers and lowers,

I have my full DAS test on the 3rd and im collecting on the 4th. Hopefully i will pass and it will all go smooth, if not my mate will get to ride her home

Got the insurance sorted to real cheap £542 for TPO, so everything is go

Nice. Good luck with the DAS.

£6k bike on TPO, you're braver than lots of people.

Nice to meetcha and congratulations! I was just in your position mere weeks ago, so I know how exactly how you feel. I'm loving my new 600 and I'm sure you will too.

Have fun running it in . Though probably will have more power than an NSR anyway .

[Minky_monkey]

TPO?

You're madder than a bag of badgers!

Surely it would not cost much more to go Fire and theft as well? I would...

It didnt cost much more for mine.

Nice bike, enjoy.

[stryker]

Don't you feel like your tempting fate? ordering a bike for the day after your test?

It would drive me nuts if I had that bike on my drive and could not ride it

[Claud 14.7 to 1]

You can always look at it, or polish it.

I recon that, that bike will scare you when you ride it. So be careful, please!

[Ste]

Dealers won't let you leave with a bike until you can show them proof of insurance.

[Irdawood the 2nd]

im insured and everything.

fire and theft on the bike costs a lot lot more... we are talking 1.5k anyways i have invested quite a bit in security so hopefully will be ok.

[Phoenix]

As said, TPO on a 6grand R6 (extremely nickable) you're clinically insane.

[Minky_monkey]

Is the bike financed or paid for outright?

Sorry for being intrusive, but how old are you? Just so we can guess/see how much would be a decent quote tpft for your bike would be.

[Irdawood the 2nd]

im 21 just

I recon if you search around, you should be able to get realistic quote tpft.

Usually when insurance companys are giving you excessively high quotes it is another way of saying F*** off! Pardon my French...

You just have to find a company that will "take you seroiusly"...

I'd go tpft every time.

[G]

When I first got my zx6 at 22 I was being quoted over £1400 by some companies for TPFT.

Rang around a lot and got it down to £500 in the end... it was about the thirty or forty'th company that I rang that got it down to that, so you do have to ring /every/ one.

I was obviously insuring it for a bit less (£4k) and it was a bit older (about 9 months old). However, you should be able to get it down some.

(Just read you already paid for insurance, oh well nevermind.)

[Andy99]

Good choice of bike mate,but i could be a little bit biased
You must be fresh out of the mad house to get one as your first bike after passing your test,enjoy it.

[Ste]

At 19 without any phoning around my TL1000R renewal has come through at £750 TPFT.

Good to hear it Irfaan, post us some pics up when you get it.

Take it easy.
