Moving onto bikes?

Hi,

Looking to do my direct access in April, but unsure what bike to get, im currently loving the GSX-R600 in Black!! But I think insurance would kill me (along with the price), can anyone recommend any alternatives? I would still be keeping a scooter for my commute

 

why ya want the horrible shape gsxr? get a k4/5

on my hornet 600 i got when iw as 18 i payed £1410 FC in south london, 1 years ncb and 1 accident to name. TPFT would have cost me about £900 and TPO would have cost me about £700.

 

How dare you!!

Any Pictures?

 

If you want a new bike, still wanna be sensible but still want a big bike, then go for an Suzuki Sv 650!

They are very cheap to buy (suzuki even do 0% finance deals),
hold their value well,
sound the nuts,
can be modded easily,
cheap to insure,
fast but not too fast (good stepping stone)

Only down side is the they're absolutely shite for stunting, the engines go bang at the sniff of a wheelie!

And before anyone says it, i don't have shares in Suzuki lol

 

Im debating, as I will probably scratch the hell out of it or whatever, so might be best to go second hand, then get a new bike in a year or so time?

 

SV sounds the sex with a straight through can imp: but suzuki frames suck









yea so what, i know im a damn pic whore

 

booom satnav connected :bird:

 

Least you have somewhere to mount your satnav! There is no where on the runner (Runs on my phone)

 

Sat Nav Rules! imp:

do a renthal conversion and then you will have somewere to put the phone to use sat nav

 

if i was u i would by a supermoto sumthink like aktm 550 or if u got big ball i would go for the 640 i was out on 1 today best fun i have had on a bike for a long time and they r not to dear to buy but dont no wat the insureran r like on them

 

i looked into the SM route, but tbh, the service intervals on things like ktms are mental, and they cost a fair bit more then like a naked 600, and there slow in comparison, not good for long distance aswell.

 

cant go wrong with a hornet bandit or sv try them see how they feel . Or a cb500 or er5 to use a couple of years untill you can get cheaper insurance

 

yh but sm have got so much toque they r so easy to ride and smooth i have never been into big bikes i would still go for a sm u no it makes sence

 

But it doesnt make sence tho, hence why i didnt get one :bird:

 

i no but i am saying i would go for 1

 

fair do's! But i was the same untill i weighed up the pro's & cons

 

i just dont really like bikes like that because if u come of u r goin to fu*k the bike them sm just pick back up and of u go muchs stronger i dont no wat they r like on reliablet

 

depends how you come off tbh

 

yh i spose so but like slow crashes the supermoto will come out on top and they r built like a brick shit house as they r for off road use as well

 

I prefer bikes like the GSXR
