Ive only just passed my test and for me to insure a CBR 400 it is about £300 and for me to insure DynaMight's ZX6R its about £700. So im getting the CBR 400 in february which i think is a great bike to learn on

what would i do??????

buy a 400cc......get some experience.....first 4 stroke for you.....great handling,quick enough for the road.....
cheaper to insure....

600 can spit you off too easily with hardly any experience....abit more to insure.....early death if you get one now.......

I was riding the Kwaka 600 before DynaMight was riding it but that was only round a carpark i think its a bit to powerfull for me to ride on the road when i have no experience at all

no did the 125 and there was a big power jump but with the 600 i am not going to do that.

600 are more power full but you get two bikes in one you get a 33kw bike, then after 2 years you get 100kw bike so it is complety diffrent

It sounds alright, It's not actually overpriced...But with older bikes I'd be more concerned with condition, milage and service history. You could pickup say a 1993 NC29 with less miles, in much better condition for quite a bit cheaper...

The rider is in charge of the throttle so if it's a 400 or 600 it does not mater just get on and ride the bloody thing.
