• Having had my provisional license for long enough that it's due to expire in August without me having actually ridden a bike I think it's time to start looking into getting something and getting my lessons out of the way...

    I have a Ducati 600SS that I've been chipping away at a rebuild on and turning it into a sort of cafe racer/ custom effort but I know I'm going to be absolutely crippled on insurance for such a thing as a learner rider so I was thinking I'd be better off with something that's already learner legal...

    Bizarrely (or not) due to the power to weight ratio most of the big HDs are learner legal and I've been admiring an advert for this beauty at €5,900...

    Is this an absolutely stupid idea?

  • How old are you? I'm guessing you're not based in the UK if the price is in € but I was surprised at how cheap insurance is as a freshly qualified rider...

  • Seems a bit crazy. They are a handful at low speeds but fortunately if you drop them they don't lie right down so the plastics are saved, unless you drop them on something else! If it's the kind of riding you want to do though, they deliver. Of course you need to get screaming eagle everything and customise it constantly so the sticker price is just a down payment.
