fucking finance company

[MultiSync]

They turned me down for finance because of my age!

So this means ill have to buy one cash, unfortunatly i aint got £3800 cash, so is there any other used bike it would be worth going for.

Heres my dilema, my provisional expires in September, so i need to be through my test by then, do i a) get an NSR and drive that for 2 years, b) get somthin bigger and have it restricted to 33bhp?

Try a personal loan, your bank may lend you the money. How old are you anyway?

[MultiSync]

im 19, yes the bank are itching to lend me the money but there loans are a rip off.

I just did a quote for a Suzuki GS500E, TPFT = £500 , Same as the NSR (might not be worth me getting the NSR afterall) - im going to try it for the VFR now, cos theres one for sale round here for £1,100 and it looks the biz.

A bank loan more of a rip off than bike finance - really??? That doesn't happen very often!!!! (Unless you get interest free credit from a bike shop!!)

Im self employed so the only loans i can get are shite ones.

Anyway, i think what im going to do is get through my test and then get a bigger bike, somthing like the GS500, unless anyone has a better suggestion.

Which also means i wont loose a years NCB on my current insurance for the scoot.

Unlucky m8,

Have a look through the green ad-mag with the auto-mag inside its out on tuesday, it has loads of bikes in our area (there was a 1992 NSR for £575 ono last week) & a few GS500Es for £800.

good luck.

I would definately advise getting a bigger bike, especially if the following factors are true:

1.) Insurance is less than or equal to NSR...
2.) You definately plan to pass your test soon
3.) You can find the right bike

I think that the second factor is probably the most important...the beauty of getting a sports 125 is that learner legal and can be made to go fast without PC plod spotting the difference too easily...
...but, as I said, if you definately plan to take (and pass!) your test soon, then I'd advise that you go shopping for a bigger bike...

Thats what i was thinkin Tin, whats the point of me spending over 4k with the finance on an NSR when i can get a 500 or somthin for alot less for the same insurance.

BTW the quotes were done with me having a full licence not the provisional, they wouldnt touch me with a provisional.

Im going to get through my test on hired bike, then buy a bike when thats done, i shouldnt think it will be to hard to pass the test, ive been riding the scoot for nearly 2 years now and consider myself a safe rider.

That is the best way to go Multisync... it may seem a bit frustrating if you want to go and buy a bike now but it is DEFINATLY worth the wait and go for a big bike!!

Yep, just booked some lessons on a 125 to get me ready for the test.

BTW, is the bike test easier than the car test, cos i failed 4 times on the car test and gave up, was for silly little things, are they as picky with the bike test?

Erm.. I thought it was quite easy?? As long as you show you have good control over the bike and are aware (dont forget your lifesavers!!) and courteous to other road users you should be ok.. the examiners just dont want to let people on the road they think are gonna kill themselves, so just ride sensibly.. seemed to get me through... then once you pass......

I had a couple of lessons on an SR125 a couple of months ago and was ok with it, what i found most auckward was actually having the tank between my legs :S - Hopefully i can have a couple of lessons and then take the test.

I p/ex'd my NSR for my R6 - dealer gave me the going rate for it but it was only 3 months old so lost shit loads.. thought I could put up with it being deristricted but as soon as I got my full licence was not happy until I had that nice shiny R6!!!!

What bikes can i go for when i pass my test, i know i could get an R1 and restricted it type of thing, but what are the most common, i know the VFR is a common one, i was thinkin along the lines of the GS500, any suggestions?

Hmm.. dont think the R1 would be happy about being restricted though!! - Ouch and the insurance!!!!!

VFR - great bike for a first bike!!

Yamaha are doing a deal atm.. if you buy one of the last 2001 model R1's they're subsidising the insurance - fully comp I could save a fortune over what I'm paying for my R6 - oh well!!
