BAZ2CRAZY Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 you would need a CBT.with this and your age you could have a 125cc. it has to be around 13bhp (a 4 stroke basicly,although did have a 125 ktm)the insurance will be dirt cheap, £100?tax, £15 to you sir.cheap as fuck.with a 50cc ped, youll see around 200 miles for like 6 quid. wins!

starlybruiser Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 Thats dirt cheap, so its 15 quid for a year tax on a 50 or 125cc?and can i put it on my car insurance?also what cc can i use on a dual carrageway? if all goes well i should have a well economical mode of transport for work, so the glanza will stay nice and shiney at home cheers matey.

ste91 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 CBR's are one of my favourite looking bikes (not really saying that much as I'm not really too interested in bikes).I have been told they were shit though, but that was by someone who rides an Aprilia.
