QUOTE what makes you such a good rider adiddy? have you ever ridden a high power 600 like a zx6r? it's not easy compared to a gpx!QUOTE

im not saying im shoit hot or anything!! i just feel that I could ride a 600 and be able to cope better than a 250 while not feeling like the enigne is gonna fry.

im still a young teen who needs more experience but i feel that to gain this a 600 would help- i dont necessarily want to do stunts or anything , i own a dirt bike and feel that a stepup is needed soon to progress that little level further...

If you are going to buy a 600 cc on restricted licence then you will not be able to insure it, if the insurance company is thorough they will spot it in early stage.

If not then you will get away with insuring it but come crunch time they will definitely decline it because if you hit a Beemer then you technically weren't meant to be there on that 600 cc bike at that time.

And cops yes they will not leave you at all. Most will fine you for breach of restricted licence conditions $400. But you can pot your luck.

In terms of skill and age that's another issue. I am obviously not in a position to say how good you are. But few things to remember is when you're out there riding on the roads commuting don't go hard and have a different mindset. More cautious and defensive. Out on the tracks then be aggressive and push yourself.

Why because you're still learning to ride, even good riders who have ridden for many years bin by their own fault, so learning doesn't stop. So you'd rather learn and bin if you are going to on a 250 than a 600. Again why? Obvious reasons 600 would be less forgiving.

How come? Well it's got more power and you'd push it harder and go faster and if you do bin, you'll hurt yourself more, screw up a much expensive bike than yours and won't have insurance.

I know what I've said is a broad general comment and most definitely arguable and I wouldn't disagree with the opposite but it's something to consider whilst making a decision.

Ever thought of a 400? If yes let me know what your thoughts are and I will give you my opinion on why I think a 400 would be a wise decision than a 600.

mmm cheers moxy, yerrr thats the problem lol.. hitting a ferrari right!
umm apparantly most insurance companies would insure you but that would be if the bike was stolen or in a fire, i wouldnt get covered if i was riding it!

[Ixion]

lol not saying i am awesome i just believe i could handle a 600cc bike!!!
I AM not stupid and believe that my brain would be in control of my wrist!!!

So I see. Go for it, I'm all in favour of getting these things over quickly. Reduces the suspense and cuts back on the clutter.

Depends on their age I must say, if they're like 16 and under my roof, then no.

But if they're like 20 out on their own, it's their call then.

awesome stuff there!
lol can i ask for your opinion on a 400?
at the moment its like waiting for paint to dry this whole licsence thing anyone know where to get it shortened quickly ! very quickly?

no that is incorrect the only way you can get insurance for theft would be to insure it under someones name who has a full licence with a full cover policy, there is no such thing as third party theft and fire for bikes, just wait your time, do a defensive driving course and get your licence, and save yourself a lot of hassle, you don't want to end up writing a $7000 bike off without insurance now do you?

[gamgee]

I just bought a 400 it's not finished being fixed up yet, but going to plan it will be just in time for when I get my full, they are very fun to ride, a nice stepup from a 250, but not a huge leap like I found the 600's were going to be, I mean I could of handled a 600 but a 400 just seems like a nicer step in between

ok thanks gamgee, i have fire and theft on my bike at the moment though??!!
just another year to wait thats all on a darn 250

[gamgee]

with what company? i'd be reading the fine print very carefully, I phoned around quite a few companies asking about fire and theft and the common response was no, only get theft cover with full insurance for bikes, or ya could get plain old third party only insurance.

[adiddy]

um i would have done about 9,000kms?! i have been coromandel, taupo rotorua, and done alot of local riding, waiukau, big bay, etc

[muzz]

I'm guilty I rode bikes long before I got my licence.
Had to borrow a mates bike to get my licence.
Couldn't say much when my second eldest rode in on an sv650 except, be careful boy theres no insurance, enjoy, lets go for a ride.
But in saying that he has been riding for a while off road and is quicker than me around some tracks.

[adiddy]
