Yeah, that's the idea... I had a FXR150 chasing me on the last Coro I did, couldn't shake him. Mostly because I'm a noob, but still.

I still got paid out by insurance of at fault party even though I "didn't have the right licence", as it was immaterial to the crash.

In that time I've also been stopped by cops for "routine checks" and may have paid an infringement or two. But at the end of the day, owning a well maintained bigger bike that goes well beats paying 5G for a learner raped 250.

Don't let the haters tell you it can't be done.

yea i agree... at least a 600... ive had my zx6 for over a year now and its the best decision ive made in my life

stil on restricted... never lookd back

I did read the whole post - by your own admission the whole "when i was young" was useless advice and wasn't useful at all.

as for the rg, sorry i assumed there was a typo there.

at checkpoints they don't often bother to check the plate/rego, and instead run on the stickers - made my old gsxr250 interesting as it didn't say 250 on the fairing nor the rego thing

Good point motorbycylist. Alternatively, if an incompetent cop such as the one that I had dealings with pulls you up, they're bound to go off the stickers and just put it out of their mind and not think "oh I should check if this is a big bike with fake 250 stickers."
