A thought; people are more likely to respect that you have already thought such things through if you use English spelling and grammar.
If you keep the bike to 33hp, then it shouldn't be much faster than a derestricted 125. It will be a massive amount faster if you derestrict it.

Top speed will be about 100, insurance will depend a lot on your situation, but in the past have seen eighteen year olds get it for about £1k.

Presume you don't want the newer models.

Your posts are hard to read.

Many people will take longer to read them because of you can't be bothered to put the effort in.
Yet for you to put a little bit more time in your self, it would make it easier for multiple people that might want to help you.


Why should I bother to take time to reply answering your questions if you can't be bothered to take the time to write a readable post?

Don't get a 2005, it will be a big waste of money, as chances are you'll drop it.

You will get no advice, if you choose to write in 'l33t spk'

You have to be restricted to 33BHP legally, so you won't blow 125s off completely, and de-restricted 400s will blow you away.

well sorry but the way you put yourself accross , especially as it's your first post, makes you come over as a bit of a tw*t tbh! Rolling Eyes

but i am very bored at work, so i shall answer you Confused

for starters a 17 year old on a 2005 zx6r spells trouble to me (and either living in a dream land, saved very hard, inheritance or very spoilt Wink )

why a zx6r?? they are insurance group 15 and most other sports 600 are group 14 so you may find difficulty in finding a company to insure you full stop!

imho, whats the point of a restricted zx6r k5 or otherwise?? apart from to look good, til you drop it or get beaten by a 400 Twisted Evil

you would look good for about ten minutes until an RS125 blows you away at the lights, then you would look like a tool Very Happy

I'll agree with most of that, but I'm looking at a circa '99 ZX6r for when I'm 18, and I can get insured on that for around £700 TPO. But yes, there is very little point if you're going to have it restricted, as it will have power equivalent to a powerful 125. There's half a chance 18Aprilia's 125 will have you off the lights for a few seconds, before it blows up.

Thumbs Up each to their own at the end of the day rookie biker.

i suppose insurance depends alot on where you live when it comes to insurance too. i'm lucky living on an island its cheaper Thumbs Up

as i've never been restricted , i don't know how that feels at all.

there was a lad round here who passed his restricted test when i did my DAS.

his nan was gullable enough to buy him a brand new R6 , restricted. Rode around like a complete idiot trying to keep up with stuff thinking he looked cool.

He binned it shortly after he got it Rolling Eyes

at 18 though rookie biker, you won't have that long to wait for full power Razz

i have a mate with a zx6r and is 17, but thats a 1997 (cost £2000 with 10k miles or so) and not restricted. He had a 250cc before he got that so was prepared alot more than it sounds you are. He slid his down the road in the wet a week after he got it, luckily he was wearing full leathers and its only cosmetic damage to his bike!

It wouldnt be a totaly wrong thing to do if you feel confident you can ride and control and insure a 600. Another on of my mates jumped from a tzr50 to his 99 R6, both of them are paying over £1000 for third party only insurance tho!!

Laughing Laughing i often wonder about these things lol

even if my parents were able to afford such things for me i doubt they would have let me have something like that purely on principle

fair play though if these teenagers pay for insurance and buy and run the bikes themselves and not mummy and daddy!

I am 20, been working hard to buy/insure/run my bikes and am looking into a ZX6R Now.

Just sold my last bike but I cant even afford a 2001/2 model let alone a 2005.

Either your bullshitting or you got it too easy.
