Ok, I've been looking around for a while at the NSR prices, all my friends who have bikes are all saying how they would never pay £2000 for a bike Shocked

although none have a bike as good looking as the NSR. I was thinking of a 2001-03 and it would be black, anyone know what sort of prices i would be paying second hand, about 15-30,000 miles on the clock. Ta Wink

Have a browse through the Exchange and Mart section for an idea of what you can buy.

30,000 on an NSR is a shit load.

When are you looking to buy? You can pick up an 01 bike for around £1500 or possibly a bit less depending on condition. How much are you wanting to spend? Your friends are right in a way, £2,000 is a bad amount to spend on an NSR as its your first bike, you will drop it, you will want to sell it after you pass your test. Save your cash by spending less than £1,000 on one which will go just as fast, will cost less to insure, and will depreciate less.

I should be able to get my CBT and provisional next year in the summer some time. By then i will of been in the army for about 6-7 months and will have around £4500 stashed away in the bank. i figured spend tops of £2000 on the bike (although cheeper is better) i wanted a GOOD helmet (lazar, Revolution) and they are £200 and i was thinking of a buffalo jacket of about £150 mabe a little more or less with some £30 gloves. That should set me up until i decide to get a bigger bike, when I'll probably buy some leathers as well.

If you are going to spend £2,000 on a 125, make sure it is in *perfect* condition, with a good service history and not many miles.

Cheers, I'd never really thought of boots. Looks like my list of things to buy just went another item. Anyone in particular make descent boots? This chat forum has probably saved my neck a few time's, thanks lads. D

Anything that will protect your ankles and soles of your feet. The best race boots are widely accepted to be Sidi Vertebra boots, but they are expensive.

Just go into a dealer and ask them what boots they have going cheap. Even a pair of walking boots or combat boots from an outdoor type shop is better than trainers/shoes. Plus they have an added advantage (for me anyway) of giving me that extra half an inch to touch the floor safely. Laughing
