So going to look at the NC30 I'll hopefully be buying tomorrow (would be delivered Sunday) annoyingly excited so thought I'd make start my thread of already. Here's my current bike:

Which I'm trying to sell, to be honest I did regret buying it, as it turned out I didn't need the extra practise on it before my test but it has been nice to practise on since then. If I had of bought a more expensive 125 (YZF R125 or Duke 125) I probably would still be wanting a bigger bike by now so it would of been a waste of money or wouldn't of bought me into the 400 idea (which hopefully is a good one!)
Will update with photos as and when.

£130, normally charge a pound a mile so wasn't a bad deal

760, bikesure phoned me back to say that got it down to 740 but I'd already bought through CN.
I've already told Alex but for those who don't know, TPO, 0 NCB, 18 YO rider, 4 months license, 2 disc locks, datatag, garaged, BMF member, pillion cover, includes commuting.

That's a serious wedge for an insurance policy - hats off to you though for doing it right, some people ride around without cover which cost the average consumer a fair whack.
Enjoy it, V5 will be off tomorrow

I couldn't afford to loose my license, i spent a lot on lessons to get up to skill quickly to let me pass first time before the new laws, if i lost it now i'd have to re test under new limits, so no NC30! Gonna go get Tax tomorrow, should take the NC30 too, first proper ride on Thursday then. But where does the tax disc go on this bike??
