Refer straight back to insurance co.

a good cr@p before you race - sorted !!

... you are/where always going to be for asking about such things here.

Each to their own but don't expect to get away without some grief Keith

I would second Craigieb choice of a Bandit 600 (I had 400 ) as first bike. 400 a bit long in the tooth now but 600 good choice. Keith
