Got him a GS500F Suzuki about 4 years ago, '07 plate, bang on the A2 licence restriction.
My lad's 25 and he passed the last bits of the A2 'jumping through hoops' test before winter set in.
He went out last month and tested a new Africa Twin and an MT09 - he loved them both, but not the monthly payments nor the insurance quotes, nor the likely depreciation and obligatory service costs.
So he started looking at 'older' bikes, VFR800 and XJR1300's.
No real depreciation, no monthly payments and cheap insurance.
His mates at work told him the XJR13 was a pig on stilts, so he started thinking Bandits......Nooooo!!!
Just done a deal for him on a '54 plate Gen 1, 6k miles, 1 owner, standard and still on Metz4 hoops
He'll only use it for fun and best yet, only £200 insurance fully comp.
It'll be 15 years old next year and eligible for even cheaper insurance deals for him.
Future classic bike - oh Yeah!
Sure he'll be on here soon too, give him a nice welcome won't you?
Nice to be back.
