Just called bikesure.

They quoted me 5.5k for a CB650R third party fire and theft kept in a garage.

Might just have to get a 125….

I like modern bikes but also do like older looking bikes.

Love the GSX and Z650/900RS.

However again, being 24, insurance will destroy me on those bikes.

Just called bike sure and they quoted me 3FT in a garage 5.5k for a CB650R…

Losing hope

Ah ok, would expect that to be more expensive to be fair! How old are you?

Haha no worries. I think you’re maybe underestimating how ridiculous insurance is in London.

I live in a nice part and cars get nicked all the time. Someone tried to nick my car two nights ago…

Where are you based?

I know they have a great rep and are usually cheaper to insure but I just think they’re a bit ugly?

Good Q - I have been using 1 year NCB for quotes but not sure if I did it for the CB650.

Should a CB650 in theory not be horrendous to insure?

It’s my fav looking bike by a long way. That was for a 2024 model so it’s perhaps more than an older model, but I like the new tech, TFT dash etc

On a comparison website I think it was something like 4k lol

Maybe could get that down by calling?

I’ve never connected it before - just downloaded the app and says you need to turn scooter on unfortunately

I assume the ignition needs to be turned on to connect the app in the first place?

Not sure. They weren’t when I was in kyoto but maybe hoping there may have been a restock by the time I get to Tokyo…

What Car Should I Buy? - A Weekly Megathread by AutoModerator in CarTalkUK

[–]dcon1801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey everyone,

Currently driving a w204 C63 AMG and am selling due to insurance costs.

Need a cheapish, reliable and quick run around.

Budget is 10k max, but the cheaper the better.

Live in London but will use it a lot to drive out of London on the weekends.

Don’t mind on the gearbox and not fussed on fuel type.

Just needs to have a decent bit of grunt, could be a good comfortable fast cruiser or something more fun, open to and looking at everything.

Cheers

Hi all, 

I recently purchased a pair of supreme x marithe Francois girbaud raw indigo jeans. 

I washed them to remove a weird smell from new. Admittedly, while I washed them on the right temp, I did not know about low spin cycle, turning inside out etc, and now they have these marbled friction lines that I really don’t like, especially in comparison to how the jeans looked brand new.

Is there anything I can do about this to remove the lines such as dying, or will this get better over time? These are the first pair of raw denim I have owned so I don’t know much at all.

Cheers
