changing bike but not cc

[-Ali-]

if i changed from a piaggio zip to a gilera dna would my insurance company still charge me the same amout? obviously i'd tell them

[instigator]

they'd most likely charge you an administration fee on top of any insurance hike (I'm not too sure there would be one or how much it would be)

depends on the insurance company and their policy. Only one way to find out

[Silver]

Depends on the insurance groups of the bikes.

If you have fully comp or TPFT the insurance quote may go up if the DNA is worth more, although on third party only insurance this should not be a problem

[zxr400baby]

because of the visual differences between the two, i reckon you would be looking at a slight increase, cant remember how much i apid on my dna though

if the DNA is valued more, then you might pay slightly more. Just out of curiosity, how big is the DNA, was thinkin of gettin one of those as my first bike, but im quite a big bloke so i look stupid on small sports bikes

For £1000 you could get an nsr125, which you WILL see a BIG difference in performance, the dna is no better than what you have i'm affraid (i'd actually have the zip over a dna as well)

aikman666 - about the same size as a cg125, if you want big a trails bike is gonna be a better bet. (i'm 5'8 and looked rediculous on a cg)

i actually wanted it not for speed but for handling, but raised the seat height on my zip and it has increased the feel so much betteras it used to have amazingly bad under steer

[mr.z]

(no offence to any dna riders) but they ARE scooters, you will find almost no imporvement in handleing, again an nsr/rs125/gearedanything will handle better, better suspension, frame, engine, brakes, everything...

Just my opinion but it just seems mad to spend more money on less of a bike...

Its not just ride height, its seating position, weight distribution (scooters handle like shopping trolleys because the weight is right under your ass), suspension, riders weight, tyre size, tyre type.. loads, a dna will not be significantly better = fact a 4stroke 125, even a cg, will handle better than a scoot.
