How old are you? You got any points? (hoping your not on a 33bhp limit Razz

) and have you not thought to maybe ring an insurance company?

Do a quick online insurance quote, easiest way to find out.

im 17 no points and nearing on 1yrs no claims so yes it would be a 33bhp 'certificate'. i dont want to ring an insurance company and get laughed at!

All i can say is "Probably not mate".
on a damn 33bhp certificate why are you looking for a bike that kicks out 100bhp?

Ok, well you probably would find it very hard to insure a 1400 Razz

Why not get something generic and boring like me? Like a GS500 Neutral

nar, not takin piss mate but i want to de restrict the bike from 33bhp, i want something that is quite a bit higher with torque. how much was it to insure the gs?

cc123 · Geez a joab? Joined: 17 Jan 2005 Karma :

You might be suprised with it being a street bike rather than a balls out sports bike. Still enough torque there to rip your arms off. Not sure how it would respond to a restrictor kit though.

I rode several bikes 100bhp restricted to 33bhp!!!!!

Cost me £300 mark to insure the GS, which was £30 cheaper than my NSR125 before it, so i got a refund when switching policies. which was nice.

Try www.insurance2000.co.uk for an online quote to give you some idea then phone around. It might be a 1400 but it won't be a high insurance group, although it might come out at a similar price to a sports 600.

lol my point was "Why bother", not that you cant lol[/quote]

So that when you become un restricted you dont have to fart about changing bikes and you used to the handling of you bike Very Happy
