ChristianSRA Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Since it's 4stroke I've been informed the stock top speed is 80 on a straight but you can go mad and get 90mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why no point doing your CBT? Unless you passed a car test before 2001 (?) it's Compulsory (that's the C in CBT), as in "No Tickee, No Ridee" As for insurance - age, location, job, experience, no claims etc. all make a difference - my lad when he was 17 was about £200 TPFT while I could get the same bike insured £40 FC (being an old fart has it's advantages, y'know!).

Depends what you want fully comp could be expensive :L And To my knowledge if you were to get lighter fairing replace the exhaust system rejet the carb I believe you can hit 90. I think the average first year of riding is around 300-350 TPFT due to the factor a YZF is very wanted and people love to steal them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know an awful lot about them. But what I know is most bikes that have been messed with like that will have a problem with being "dropped" or "crashed" or "vandalised" that sort of thing or having a positive view on humanity they just wanted it to look nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
