    loved my rvf, nc's are awesome :D. rvf's piss take overpriced but worth the extra money over nc30s. sound cool eh!?

    get some dunlop gpr10's and a tyga system and you'll like it more than the cbr. liked mine more than rev-tastic hornet i had. zxr400 forks are a common mod as forks set up for 5 stone japs

    :bird: (but you didnt tell me anything??)

    yeah i like the way it revs, but with the standard pipe it sounds like a fart compared to the 6, the GDC's whine sounds weird too :rofl: good little bike though.

    fully comp wont help. my friend was on his 96 zxr400 tpo for £470. 1 yrs ncd. think you should have a look around! confused.com is ok, ebike etc. mine at 19 was £560 for a rvf400 and rs125 together tpo

    unless youve got a wallet full of gold, id forget fully comp and go TPO, i jumped from a dt 125 to a cbr600 as soon as i passed my test with (i was 18 to) 1 yrs no claims, an it cost me 650 (with six points and 3 convictions though, would be much cheaper without them), and since then iv changed it back to a 400 and they gave me a 200 refund so must be around 450.

    also the insurors dont take into account the fact that its restricted, so that wont make it cheaper :(
