Any after market mods you fit as a general rule will invalidate your insurance, not all mods obviously but if you play around with the horsepower etc then your insurance is null and void in the case of any claim and these days the insurance companies do check.
The Rocket Centre do some great deals, CBT test is included in some of there deals and they have loads of helmets, just buy the best you can, you cant purchase another head in the case of a crash and DONT BUY A SECOUND HAND HELMET as you never know whats happened to them.
Insurance companies, try Falcon Insurance, there much cheaper than Bikesure.
Include in your budget a chain & lock £100 + as it needs to be insurance rated and its the only thing stopping your pride and joy being stolen.

Cheers some good points raised there.
Helmet is something i had already thought of, not an area where saving money is priority really (as you said you only get one head lol).
Must admit i hadnt really thought much about the security, planning to keep it in the kitchen (not told my mum yet though lol) so doubt it will get nicked from there, but i will at some point have to park it up somewhere not as secure so a lock does sound like a very good plan
.
As for the mods id always check with the insurance company before doing anything to it to find out how much extra they want to cover the mods.
Cant say i had heard of falcon insurance but ill have a nosey
.
Been offered a second hand ped for £400 very tempted at moment.
