Title: Official Suzuki GSX1400 K2 Classic Bike 2021
Post by: Big Phil on Tuesday, 22 December 2020, 06:39 PM
Looking at insurance quotes and on the Bennett's site, bikes that are 20 years old are now considered Classic by most insurance companies thus we will get cheaper quotes. Apparently classic bikes are usually better looked after and ridden less than modern bikes as they don't get used too much, other than on dry days. Well that describes my K2 but I know a good few on here ride more miles in a year than some bikes see in ten.

Happy 20th birthday to all K2's 🎉🎁🎊🎂🍾 in 2021

My girl's 1st registration date is actually 08/09/2001 and she is a Yorkshire girl being supplied by Padgett's of Keithley which is still in business today!

I know some are earlier than that so who has the oldest???

Mine has been on 'modern classic' policies with Carole Nash since she was 10 years old.

We did find the "last one" before (I think on the old org), guy in Ireland bought it, a (red and black I think) K7 registered late 2009. Damned if I can remember his handle though.
