Its just your bike goes VROOM instead of VROOM!!!!!!!!!!
I had a restricted 600 Yam XT for a little while. Had enough grunt for me, coming directly off a 125
Till it got nicked, bastids.
It's okay to get a 125 and then go up to restricted from there, makes you appreciate the extra power even at 33bhp. Then when you get onto the Real Thing ... woo! ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

The reason I want it Ste, is because I'm not made of money, so I don't have the cash to get something close to a 33BHP (£1,700ish), then pay the insurance for it (£1,000), one or two years later, fork out another few grand for the CBR R6 etc, and then another grand ish for insurance. So I could save £2,700 and just get the 600cc, restrict it, be a good boy and keep it on for two years, and after that take it off and be:

Your numbers don't exactly add up. £1,700 for something close to 33bhp? You can pick up a Honda Bros 400 for a few hundred, and insurance will not cost £1,000 or anywhere near that! You can pick a good condition CBR600 up for about £1,000 and the insurance will be cheaper as you have more no claims.
Where does the number of £2,700 come from? Seems to me that its come from the cost of the 33bhp bikes and a years insurance for it. Whatever bike you get you'll have to pay to insure it, and a bike which is close to 33bhp will cost a lot less than a 600cc bike to insure! And you will still be able to sell the bike once you've finished with it so you get a good amount of the money back.

The reason why I don't want to get something like a NSR, or Aprilia 250, or what ever is because:
A) I've read on here that they need very careful maintainance, and need rebuilding every so often
B) If I did get the 250cc, and it was over 33BHP, I'd have to get a restricter kit, which like Bendy said up to £200
C) When I do come to sell the bike after the two years, it won't be worth as much as I paid for it.
Where as, if I was to just get something that's 600, buy a restricter kit, keep it on for two years, I'm not going to be losing out on having to sell the first bike, the restricter kit, and the insurance money that I wasted which could have gone to the 600 bike as well as money on the maintainance side of things. And after the first year, the insurance will have gone down on the 600 so it will be cheaper and then again after second.
Please tell me you understand what I'm saying? ____________________ Veni Vidi Vici
