    Thinking of getting a cbr250 in the summer. Will I be able to get insurance on it? I read somewhere recently that you have to have a bike no bigger then 125cc on a prov license.
    I drove a NSR125 for a year and a half about 4/5 years when I was 18/19, im nearly 25 now and want to get another bike. Not sure I want to drive another 125cc for 2 years tho:rolleyes:

    A1 learner permit: <125cc
    A learner permit: not limited by cc but by power output which should be <25kW/33bhp.

    So if you want a larger than 125cc bike youll need the A licence and to make sure that the bike you choose is restricted to the correct power if as required. Technically I think the CBRs should be restricted but in practice they never are.

    Youll have to phone around insurers for quotes, but I cant see a CBR250 causing a big problem.

    You shouldn't have any problem with insurance if you're 25. I was looking around for a quote a few weeks ago, they wont quote me on anything over 150cc and even then it's around a million euro (might aswell be). Anyway that's because I'm only 20, you should be fine!

    But definitely you'll need an A permit and you should get the test over with as soon as possible. Don't forget, the bike has to be over 125cc for the test, otherwise you'll only get an A1 licence and your A permit back. You could do that and start again if you wanted, but it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense.

    Yeah I did the quick quote thing on Quinns website and they are looking for 600 and something euro for TPO. Not bad considering insurance on my NSR was over 2k:eek:
