I am looking at one of these once I pass my test (retake next week!)

what are the real world MPG figures?

Anything I should look out for?

Does it come with an alarm? I can't find anything about one.

Thanks! You do about the same annual milage as me then (though on a CBF)

I have spotted one at a local dealer, so hoping I can get them to include an alarm and heated grip with the bike. I know nothing about what alarms are good or not but apart from being a good idea, does it reduce the insurance by much?

Also looked at exhausts for it, did that affect your insurance?

Cheers, I am just looking at alarms, not sure if I can negotiate a £350 alarm AND the heated grips in the deal but worth a go.

Thats what I read but if it reduces the chances of the bike being nicked and reduces the insurance then I am all for them.

I have commuted for the past 2 winters with the bike and got glove liners last winter but didn't find they made a difference.

Bike will be mainly for my 25 mile round trip commute so around 45 mins, though a range of roads.

I looked at heated gloves, Held did a pair but they discontinued them. No wiring up to bike as they had their own battery packs.
