My next bike..

[Michaeljf]

Evening all,


I currently have a 2009 ER6F which I am looking to sell to help fund a new bike.
The insurance on the ER6 is stupidly high as I am 19 and to be honest I fancy a change.

The ER6 was a cat C write off from the previous owner and is currently worth around £2000.

I quite like the look of a bandit 600 which for £2000 I could purchase and insure.

So my question is what other bikes should I be adding to my list to have a look at, would quite like a IL4.
Do you think a CBR400 would be too much of a downgrade?
Insurance on a Hornet is quite high so that's out

Thanks,
Michael

Nothing wrong with a Bandit, your choice though,

Why is your insurance so much? Are you fully comp or TPFT?

Insurance shouldn't be too much on a Bandit, check out Bandit 1200 insurance

I ran a quote today for a Daytona 675, 06/07 model. 1/2 what I pay for the CBR600RR

Bandit 1200, CB400SF, SV650 all give cheap quotes.

When i was bike shopping and getting insurance quotes etc one of the cheapest bikes i could get insured on was a Triumph street triple. I was freshly licensed with no experience or no claims and they were coming out very cheap.

Would love a street triple but they are over my budget
Might check out the insurance costs on a older CBR600

I'm 18 and my insurance on a hornet is £280.

I am also covered to ride other peoples bikes

Perhaps you are looking at this the wrong way round.
My ER-6F was the cheapest bike I've insured, 250 Scooter was more, CBF125 was more (admittedly initial policy taken out when I'd just passed CBT) 9/2012, passed test 10/2012.

£93 Added onto my CaroleNash policy for my Scooter, which was £130 at inception. Initial Policy 2/2012 and adjustment 4/2012

I have no experience, no NCB and live in London. 3 Points. 1 Car at fault accident (annoying that car NCB doesn't count, but accidents in a car do). Everything against me. Yet the ER-6F was dirt cheap. Go figure!
