i thouroughly agree! *if* you make the jump and swap to owning a bike as your only fast toy i bet you any money you like that you'll wonder why you "wasted" so much money on fast cars! guarantee you wont look back!

as for the second part...well...erm...when i could afford it i bought another shonky old ford but only because i could afford both. already the saff has cost money. the bike costs practically nothing and is a total weapon. Tax is cheap as fuck as is fuel and general running costs. 1st time insurance on a 600 is more than reasonable at roughly £4-500 tpft? depends on bike and situation obviously but i bet its cheaper than the car. after a couple of years NCB the bigger bikes are easy to insure as i found out

theres only so much telling you can be given but its only after you make the switch you'll know what i mean
