Not sure about nowadays but for my first bike when I was 19 (6 years ago) was a GSXR750 & I paid about a grand. Not bad considering the performance you're getting really but in comparison to the bikes worth it is...........depends how you look at it.

If you get an R1 you will have to get a motortrade pol with motorcycle extension.
When I was 21 I used that for my blade and my R1
Was about £850 a year but that was TPO
No one will touch you without 2yrs no claims and usually age 25+

another thing to remember is the footpeg position on the bikes, as some as higherthan others.
The gixxers are very high and race orientated, whereas something like an older ninja will be somewhat lower as less cramped, as I can only ride for about 2 1/2 hours on the gixxer before my leg starts to feel numb and my wrists feel like they're gonna snap..... so at your height I think you'd be WELL uncomfortable on something like a gixxer/ R1 etc

I'm almost 6'3" but 17-18stone & when I look at pics of me on any of my bikes, I made them look like mini-moto's Lewis,
If you're taller than me you're gonna look like a tit I'm sorry to say.........looks like it's a Honda Africa Twin or a Goldwing for you my son!

as said my cousin races R1's and he's about 6'6 but alot bigger built that you lewis, and he looks very odd on the bike, also he found it very difficult to get his knee down for a while and when you that tall you give the bike a much higher centre of gravity, and it fells very unerving.
That aside before he got his race bike he had a CBR Blade 99RR and that bike was alot lot bigger than the r1 and that that suit his size wise much better.
So maybe a CRB 400FI or CBR 600F ?

lewis whatever bike you get your gonna look stoopid on it.
especially with leathers on
just get a quick cossy
james will tell you how a 400bhp saph compares to a tuned GSXR600

My mate just passed his test and is paying £360 for a zx6r ninja, he's 23.
They are very good, ive got 6 points for an in10 and im only looking at £600 for a similar bike.
Never even tried for an R1 though
