Insurance

[firestorm996]

Got some quotes from bennetts online quoting thingy earlier today:

My storm £300
RSV Mille £390
GSXR600 £260
GSXR750 £320
XR650 £340
KTM LC4 Supermoto £365
Blade £590

So it's cheaper to insure a GSXR750 (obviously a bit of a missile) than a bog standard trailie (XR650). Presumably it comes down to what gets nicked the most I suppose.

Still a load of ole bollarks tho, innit. I'm starting to agree with that bloke on the AA advert (the one who has his jumper tucked into his jeans) "Insurance costs, stupid just stupid!" and I never thought I'd agree with someone who tucks their jumper in their jeans.

I know the feeling mate,
here is a sample of some quotes
i recieved after killing dead my 2001 ZXR900 ninja
blade-£500
R1-£700
RSV MILLE-£450
all with above with £600 excess
VTR1000F-2 £260 fully comp with £250 excess.
GUESS WHAT I SPENT MY PENNIES ON
& i did have full no claims bonus before the write off

are you all old farts or something..........

the best deal i could get was £650 fully comp.......next best was over £1000.

but then i supose its because i got no discount, & only been riding 2 years.

Im with you on this Essexbloke - mine is currently £900 (although I only passed my test this year!) Still Im no spring chicken at 32, married with sproglette, good job, no accidents or points (actually ive got 3 points!) But its still bloody expensive in'it!

ah but with age & experience als comes the benefits of cheaper insurance

[essexbloke]

thats it ...rub salt in the wounds......

i passed test 2 years ago, had an accident in feb this year, (not my fault, but still ging on), then bought a duke, which got stolen 3 weeks after buying it......

i'm 30, married, with 2 kids.........

guess i'll have to wait til i'm 50+ to get decent insurance........
