Ya ill have to see what i can do monday anyway. Insurance wasnt that bad when i got a quote before christmas. It was 860 for a 600 hornet so id say it will be cheaper this time round. Plus ill be 21 in august so i can just get 6 months insurance for the moment or something anyway.

Hornet in the insurance companies eyes is a tamer version of a cbr 6..... the minute the type the letter R into the comp you can add a cupla hundred quid....

insurance is annual only i'm afraid....

But when you are looking if it has an R in the model name its gonna be more expensive...

Cbr 250/400/600 is same engine as Hornet 250/400?/600 (not to sure on engine set-up).... hornets are cheaper to insure
