I ask because your comment about insurence premiums struck me. I had an xtr at 18 with only 1 yrs NCB and I only paid about 40 pounds per month. Dunno if its simply because one is classed as an SM and the other a enduro.

Hiya Chris, she's 20 at the moment. I did a search for the XTR after she mentioned the XTX (she hadn't come across the XTR in her browsing, but would be just as happy with) and the insurance was more or less the same. I really expected it to be significantly less too!
She really prefers supermoto or enduro style, but insurance premiums are out of the window. As an example an XT350 (yes from the early 90s) or an XR250 (old and modern of similar spec) are about �1800/annum insurance. However a Fazer 600 or Triumph SpeedFour are about �1000..... For around �700 she can have an ER5 or a CBf250, but she'd rather gnaw her own leg off lol.
To quantify these prices are searches made 'for comparison' e.g. same details pumped into one of the generic search engine to give an idea of what said bike will cost. May well be that we can drive the price down more, but we're using the generic searches as marker for now.
