also depending on loan amount and loan provider you may be required to insure your bike. like through honda anything over 10k must be insured also suzi makes ya do something but i am not sure what dollar amout they draw the line at.
My fault about the 1100...i dont know my gixxers.
When I said no insurance, I was just thinkin if he was to buy a used bike cash. And a few people I know got bank loans (not specified for a bike), so they didnt have to get insurance.
Racingburg, if you think you can handle a newer bigger cc bike...go for it. Chode bought his first bike (03 R6) only a couple of months ago, and he rides like someone who's been riding for a lot longer than that. Everyone learns at a different pace.
