Dibble thats a picture of my original Harris Magnum 2 you have there, must admit I hopped off it pretty rapid like when it was roasted nuts time, didn't do much for the Alloy tank, plastic Keihin smoothbore inlet trumpets, wiring etc.

bear in mind Jewel is only about 18, so insurance on anything larger than 600 is going to be diffucult and expensive...if you can stretch to a tl ins cost, go with a 748 - would imagine the buying cost would be similar to a tl for an early model and much more fun:)

alternatively, why not try an early zxr750 - great bikes and fairly large so should fit you, again bit cheaper ins than the bigger bikes.....just a thought.

I think my TL1000S was group 14, there is one on Visordown for £2400 and I have seen them go for £2100 on Ebay this winter.

900SSie is group 13

19 paul.:D
have thought about the zx-7r and nearly bought one as it was going dirt cheap.
have a big soft spot for the TL 1000S,just its rep......just love the bike:D:D

yeah seen that one on VD skidlids,its a beauty,guy lives near to mogwai(honiton).

and also a big bonus is that i find its comfy the tl1000......much easier on my back.

insurance will be TPO,will be in garage.......very safe.
