I reckon you'll be able to get at least £500 back for it

All is not lost.

I wouldn't go out and put 1k on a credit card that I couldn't pay off anyway. Just get the ns125 and save up or get a loan which has a semi good chance of having a half decent interest rate.

yeah, but now at least you're not forking out hundreds of pounds in interest on a credit card.

Believe me, those things are dangerous. I've been there, and now 2 years later I'm still spending 1/3rd of my salary just paying off debts

Hi

The Cheap NS is in many ways a perfect bike to learn on. I would say stick with it.

All the best

Hi

13.9% is not good (a loan would probably be at under half that rate). Could get expensive. Often the "nothing to pay until 2007" type deals do not apply to cash advances.

All the best

Or get youself kitted up from ebay. I got some adequate leathers for less than 60 quid. I'd buy a helmet from a shop so you can try it on.

The NSR does offer a little bit over the NS, but not a massive amount.

They're both decent bikes, so I'd stick with the cheaper NS Thumbs Up.

Ha, you can't say something like that and not expect replies! Razz

Remember, for a start we're talking about you spending £500 on a bike not £700 - and err, I didn't actually see the original post, so my opinion is probably a bit invalid Smile.

Also cheaper insurance etc.

The bike is ok for the money, but you could have done better if you waited. Now that you've got the bike you may aswell keep it. You'll get most of your cash back - they seem to be fairly steady in value.

If i were you, i'd go for the test asap. I intend on shifting my cagiva as soon as i pass my test, which i'll book as soon as there's £60 lying around.

I thought my 125 was fast when i got it. 2 weeks later it's underpowered.

That insurance quote kicks ass, too!

We did say don't go for it, but if you were paying £1000 for that or £2000 for a newish one on the credit card, I think we'd recommend the old one still. Razz

Credit cards are like the devil, it's the worst way to borrow money. Thumbs Up

You and half the population. After tax, half my salary goes on the mortgage & car repayments.
