whats your insurance like?

[hazza]

after i pass my bike test i was thinking about getting an offroad/supermoto bike of around 250cc until my restriction runs out.

but my mate made a valid point. off road bikes are very nickable is the insurance extortionate? anybody recomend a good quick bike?

my crm is only 117 a year, my old klx 250 was double that. still pretty cheap to insure though ive found

im only 17 though you think it will be crazy? although i should imagine its cheaper than a plasticy sports bike.

in your opinion whats better, two or four stroke....i like the sheer power of 2 but the smothness and sound of four

Iv had quotes on the xr250/400 for when i am 17 and both were about £450. Trail type bikes are meant to be cheaper to insure than most other bikes, according to the dealer at the garage. I would go for a 4 stroke, bikes like the xr are so reliable and will go on for ever, but things like the more competitive wr bikes tend to need a lot more maintenance due to being highly tuned.

whats the seat height like on the xr? im a bit of a short arse (only like 5ft 4'-5) but i can ride a yz 125 no probs and can just about manage a klx 200 (i think a 200cc two smoke?)

The seat height on a xr 250 is 914 mm, the seat height on a yz is 998 mm so you should have no problems.
