Cheap Insurance

Just insured my ZX9 locost with Sureterm Direct for £155 fully comp, 3k mileage, agreed value 7k. (36yrs old, no claims/convictions etc, garaged)

Last years quote with Adrian Flux was £198. Go figure

My insurance was £126 fully comp with Graham Sykes.
Honda VTR1000 SP1, no NCB, 3 points fixed penalty. Limited to 2K miles.
Excess milage is charged at pence/mile, dunno how much but it is only a few pence.
Heard some unscrupulous souls flick a switch in the back of their electronc speedo so the speed reads half the actual speed thus doubling there milage allocation....

How does the car go with the big Vee twin in it?
They sound really good, that's for sure

BRUM BRUM....

I think Timcrasher had the best analogy...
Like a Lancaster bomber taxiing down the runway.
Seriously it is too loud, 105dB at SVA and that is with the quiet pipe...
. Very difficult to silence a mid engine.
Drives lovely, massive torque, will pull smoothly from 40mph in top and cruise at 80 @ 6500RPM... doesn't make power untill 9500RPM
