"Still warm here Sorry to hi Jack your post but I'm looking for some info on motorcycle sat Navs. I want to get B one for Christmas. " I recently got a used TomTom Rider V5, it has a "Windy roads" option that is pretty bloody good tbh. If you are more into the planning a route, waymarks etc. Then I've heard the Garmin stuff is better. Bike nave are horrendously expensive though compared to car ones, but then my TomTom fell off my bike (mount broke) at 40ish, bounced & apart from marks is right as rain. S | |||

"We have 7 between us only one goes away and that's the race bike for the engine service and rebuild Wow 7 that sounds like my type of garage" It would be better if the garage was bigger it's a pain in the bum having to move them all around when deciding what bike to ride not easy when you're a woman they weigh a ton lol | |||

"This seems like a good thread to jump on... I'm an all year biker set to do my full license in December, at the moment I got a little cbr125 but I'm stuck between what I should get for my next bike once I have my license, I don't have big money to spend so an older bike is what I'm looking for, I like the old gsxr dead and the triumph Daytona... looking at spending around 1500 on a ride. Does any of you guys have any help for me deciding. It will be rode all year round too?" Depends how big a engine you want really if I'm honest. If you want something quick and won't let you down no matter the weather and it will be your first bigger bike I would recommend a bandit if I'm honest. You could get something like an srad or a cbr600 but if you're using it year round I.e ice and snow etc if you throw it down the road you're gonna need to source plastics which can be a bitch with older bikes. | |||

I'd advise you get some insurance quotes based on just passing your test, if they are a bit then move from sportsbikes to things like Fazers & Bandits (600 Fazers are awesome alrounders). Oh & do not buy an early 600 Daytona, not unless you want a £600+ bill for a shim service. S | |||

I only like sports bikes for that reason as well but you have to weigh up comfort and looking like a bad ass against reliability, readiness of replacement parts etc | |||

Yep, that's main dealer prices in the south east though, only applies to the first of the pointy nosed ones. If you can afford the SRAD, check out insurance on a last year 750fi so should be 98/99. Get a tidy one, look after it & it'll make you money I was in two minds on a Gixxer7 or YZF750, went with the YZF in the end. S | |||
