The 33bhp restrictor.
Not many insurers want to touch a restricted rider. When I was looking at a Fazer 400, insurance for me cost £500. Add a restrictor, and the price rocketed to £1,500.
The VT250 may be a stopgap - assuming I get a job, that is...
THat's funny that Christo, my insurance companies really didn't care. I'm suspeecting you're adding that in on a comparison site which does screw around with values, best couple I used were Carole Nash, and a company called wicked quotes. Both charged me about £400 for my honda hornet 600 (more expensive than a fazer to insure) at 18 and 19 respectively. Do think that your accident will be a hefty cause unfortunately though :/
