"I will not likely upgrade my license in the foreseeable future"
Your restricted ER6 being written off is the perfect opportunity to upgrade your license. |

Surely OP brake checked someone to be in the position of getting rear ended and thinking the claim will go the other persons way.
Secondly why the fuck do you need lessons for a test you've already done!? |

They've got to hit you pretty hard to break the frame, swingarm and rear wheel.
The frame and swingarm are bent? |

Well, having a working ER6 would have been the perfect opportunity to drop £90.50 on re-doing a couple of pretty simple tests.
But we are where we are. I reckon that the Duke 390 will be more fun, until it stops working.
If you're going to get anything 600cc+ again, then for the love of Allan, just go and do your A tests on your own bike, then bin the restrictor. I mean, if you bother fitting one in the first place. Were you ever asked for evidence of that? ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

I might have a KTM 390 in my garage, but I wouldn't have only a KTM 390 in my garage.
I wouldn't rule out the CB500 variants. Bang on the A2 power limit, lardier than the Duke but you're already used to the weight, no hassles with restricting and no outstanding reliability issues that I'm aware of. The CB500F probable offers the best value for money because it's the least desirable, but it's going to ride much the same as the X and 'R' once you're on it. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

I've been a tit and forgot that the insurance will have to clear the remaining finance on the bike meaning whatever I buy will need to be on finance aka a dealership.
As added to my previous post which you probably missed me editing in, it doesn't have to be a KTM, I'm just not really seeing any reason to spend more when the restricted ER6 has been perfectly fine.
Not trying to say I disagree here, just that there's been no justification of buying a bigger bike over an A2 compliant. I feel the original question of will an A2 compliant bike ride as well as or better than a restricted bigger bike has been ignored in favour of saying just do your tests and buy a H2R .
I don't mean that to sound rude at all and appreciate any input but I don't think that original question was ever answered.
Just got pricing from a riding school I trust and tend to be reasonably priced in the area:
Mod 1 & 2 with Bike hire £290
2 Lessons (refreshers for each test which I feel I would need to help my nerves more than anything) £130
Theory test (has expired) ~£25 |

There has been, you just don't like it.
Another ER6 (or anything 595cc+ and 40kW+, ideally 40kW-70kW) + £90.50, badda-boom, badda-bing, job done in a day. Don't raise the issue of restriction, you'll be fine.
Renting on finance means you can't afford the bikes that you want to ride. You won't like hearing that either. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
