Hi Guys,


Had my Mod 2 today which went amazing, passed with 0 faults just like my Mod 1, so super chuffed about that. Now I’m in search of a BIG bike, I will be selling my YBR back to the dealership I bought it from tomorrow :crybaby: . My questions is which bike should I go for and how much should I be paying for insurance? The 4 bikes I have narrowed it down to are MT07 (the only Naked), R6, Daytona 675 and GXSR600. I would only be using it for pleasure really and hopefully start getting in to track days. I’m 30 and the bike would be on my drive locked to the ground by the anchors I installed for the YBR. You opinions are appreciated


Thanks

Well done, get insurance quote for all the bikes then go sit on them, try get test ride, you need to be on them to see your suited to them.

Congrats on the passes mate....... 8-)


You need to at least sit on each to see which feels right......test rides would be better if you can get them..... 8-)

Congrats on the pass!


Go sit on an r6. I was set on one until I sat on that torture rack. Ouch. The mt07 is a great bike but not all that powerful (compared to an r6). I ended up getting the mt10 - insurance was less than the r6 strangely, for a shed load more cc and power.


How much should you pay? Depends on loads of things. I'm 33 and live in a nice area. Fully comp on a new r6 for me was £1300 a year I think? 3 points for speeding, 1 years ncb. But don't compare to me - every person and quote is different, and 'it is what it is'... Get on gocompare, go sit on some bikes.


And don't be fooled by mce's trackday insurance included in their fully comp - the excess is half the value of the bike...

Have a look at the gsxr 750 alongside the 600.


Suzuki also do some street bikes too,


Can't go wrong with a triumph triple cylinder though.

Hello and well done. Triumph Street Triple is an amazing bike but as others have said try some and check out the insurance.

Congratulations on the pass :D

Like above, go sit on them and see which you like. Also check out the insurance costs.

The MT07 is different from the others: it's probably more of an all-rounder. It would be great for commuting or longer rides; you could even tour comfortably on it. And of course you could commute or tour with the sports bikes, but that's not what they do well. What these ones are really good at is: giving a very engaging ride, going fast, looking gorgeous and wailing like banshee. In my view, the Daytona scores best overall on these measures, but the GSXR is probably the more comfortable, and easier to ride.
