How Much For Motorcycle Insurance for 17yr old male?




I wanna get a kawasaki ninja 250r for starters and im just wondering how much insurance would be for it. I have never gotten in an accident and well my grades arent the best. 140 lbs.







I have been looking at a 1982 honda nighthawk 450 with 13k miles on it tht was in decent shape tht i could probably get it for 900$ (and i found out insurance would be 125$ a year)…..i want to broaden my search and i was wondering if there are any other bikes out there that are good beginner bikes that are cheap (not AT ALL more than 1200$)







I am a college student looking for a cheap scooter. Please if you know of anyone that has one available please contact me in the following e-mail: iavicola@ibw.com.ni

Thank You




Can an electric motor take different voltages?




I am interested in buying an electric bike that has 2 batteries that opperate at 12v @ 10 amp hours. They are designed to work together to deliver 24v to a 450 watt (peak) motor at the front wheel. Unfortunately these are heavy SLA batteries, and I would like to replace them with state of the art Nanophosphate Litihium Ion batteries.

Now the kicker: I can only find 36v versions for use in DeWalt power tools (though they are very energy dense).

So what I am wondering is if I can buy 2 / 4 of these and wire them to deliver no more than 36v continuous to the 24v motor and will it improve performance or just burn up the components.

Also as an added question, if it is not possible to run 36 volts directly is there a controller that could accomplish this.

Thanks!

The motor is from Currie Technologies, specialists in electric bikes.
I should add that the motor is DC as will be the current delivered to it.

2000 SUZUKI GSXR 600 questions?




My friend owns a 2000 SUZUKI GSXR 600 and it has 19k miles. I am thinking about buying it for my first bike but I am nervous this bike has too many miles. Is the high milealge for a bike? Should I buy it? Also what are some possible things I should watch out for. he is giving me a great deal but the amount of miles scare me. Should it?

Minnesota laws –

Obtaining a Moped Permit
To obtain a motorized bicycle permit, applicants must:

Complete an approved course
Be atleast 15 years old by the time the course is completed
Present completion card to examiner to take written and riding test (permit is void after obtaining drivers license.)
Southeast Technical College is one of 19 locations in Minnesota that offers an approved 4 1/2 hour, classroom-only, moped course for 15 year olds interested. The cost of the course is .

Florida laws -

What are the driver licensing requirements for mopeds, scooters and other two or three wheel motor vehicles?
If 50 cc or less, these vehicles are not motorcycles by driver license law definition, S. 322.01(25), F.S., so a motorcycle endorsement is not required per S. 322.03(4), F.S.; however, to operate them on streets and roadways, you must be at least 16 years old and hold at least a regular operator (Class E) or “Motorcycle Only” driver license.
According to the minnesota laws I can drive one legally with a permit but if I go to florida with my permit they won’t acknowledge it so it’s illegal for me to rent one?

f0876and do I still need to get the moped permit in minnesota or will a learners permit for driving a car work?
