Overclocking 1.60 to 2.30 GHz ? by Palamedein computing

[–]Columbo1 0 points1 point ago

The rule I go by is 10% increase in clock speed = 30% increase in heat output.

Thats a big overclock, but if you can cool it, you can clock it.

As much as I appreciate the help, prices vary so much between people, you can't really say that one specific bike will be cheap.

It all depends on the area (maybe there's a high level of theft for those bikes), the age and experience of the rider and value of the bike.

'Tis true.

Alas, the insurance is a killer.

This is true. £1200 ($1900) for no restriction that I cant legally ride. With the restrictor, I cant even get a quote.

Ninjas get stolen ALOT around here so the insurance is sky high.... CBRs are all new. No old ones exist here so again, very high insurance...

That price is depressing!!

Youth is wasted on the young. I'd rather have a sports bike now and enjoy it!! The 500s are also kinda expensive :(

Any suggestions on nakeds (not of the r/gonewild type lol) I should look at?

I've run insurance quotes and its too expensive. 400's are too expensive too.

I've been using go compare to get an idea of cost. I am well aware that Go Compare is not the price bible.

Not writing off per se, but I would need to find a sweet spot between brand new and expensive and so old the parts just dont exist.
