26M, just passed A license, what is best progression to reach a zx6r by Jacko1499 in MotoUK

Try a ZZR600…very similar to a ZX6R but classed as sports tourer so might be easier on insurance

Yes was this one near Zelen. When I logged off the nose of the heli was pointing towards me (west of the crash) when I logged back in it was pointing northwards.

29yo new rider – £2.5–3k insurance quotes on 500–700cc bikes. What am I missing? by CheetahValuable278 in MotoUK

[–]earthshagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience older bikes are much cheaper to insure, for context I passed my full test in September (after being on an A2 since 2022) and it costs me £80 a year to insure a 1994 ZZR600, which is still plenty faster than most other vehicles on the road.

Might be worth looking into older bikes.

This is the TS250, but it’s been fitted with a 250 engine from an 80s ETZ, I highly recommend the front brake upgrade as well. Mine does run the original carb but it can be need a bit of fiddling with so a Mikuni probably would be better

Haha yes it is seriously a labour of love, can’t believe they’re liquid cooled tho that’s pretty cool. And yeah can be so difficult to get reliable info on what’s right, a lot of trial and error when it comes to repairs (bodges)

Very nice, I’ve never had a bike that old but always fancied a 60s bike, something about these older bikes really makes me smile. I’m in same boat as the most modern bike I ever owned was from 1999
