I'm fairly confident that renthals are just a cosmetic upgrade, not performance, and cans alone don't offer much of an improvement - especially mid-range (Delkovic Stubby's)!

I'm 32 (until next month), living (born and mostly bred) in the nice and quiet Swansea (almost bike theft central these days) and pay £100.99 TPFT with £150 excess on my 2000 model (W plate) with a number of years no claims.

Strange thing is, I pay as much (if not more) for car insurance now as I did when I was 21 in a car fully comp - £400 ish, and my bike insurance hasn't gone down a great deal considering - was thrashing a bandit 6 around at 20 (license automatically de-restricted after 2 years) with a 50/50 claim on my insurance for a collision with a granada a year previous and only paid £400 a year back then!

Never drove until 21 and that only came about after my mother pleaded with me to buy me a car after twisting the frame on the bandit (flipped it in 3rd - diesel patch or something!)... I obliged - for six months
