Just on my lunch and thought I would see how much to insure me on a SUZUKI GSXR 750 2007 model through Fowlers in bristol. had a few thats been 800+ which I would not pay. 30Yo, 1NCB, 1 year Riding etc.. all clean

and got

AXA Insurance UK plc £467.71 fully comp with 700 excess. less than I am paying for my Fazer600

making me think about changing now

[Rawwr]

I'm paying £700 fully comp, K6 GSXR 1000 (06 reg), 1 years no claims, age 33.

[Mad Dave]

Ah, i'm only 25, and the bike isn't garaged - they probably add to the cost a bit!

[Chilli]

Hmmmm, £650 for me. 35 years old, and zero no claims, obviously!

[RemaL]

the excess is alot but i would prob pay that anyway to save claming on my insurance

[MattOz]

£293 Fully Comp with £500 excess on K5 Gixer 1000. All mods declared. Express Insurance. Give them a call.

Having said that, isn't Suzuki about to do a years insurance for £99 on all new K7 750's? Might be worth asking...

Cheers

I also heard this, but a check on their website suggests its only on the 600.

Kwackers are doing a good deal at the mo....Free Akrapovic cans and 9% IIRC.

Could be tempted to go for the 750 if the insurance, 0% and a few goodies were thrown in!!

[MattOz]

Chilli,

600's until the end of June (22nd) and then 750's afterwards, hopefully!

[Rawwr]

If that's true I'm going to be pissed.

Really? Good stuff.

Someone explain insurance to me, please.
Was mid600's for the 52 plate RSVR, now sniffing around an 04 Blade at 6K.
Additional premium (and the poor girl apologised for it) £165.

Not as weird as mine. £750. Then 6 mnths later put in a claim for £3.5k. Renewal time, and it goes down by £100!!

Give H&R a call. My renewal for my blade was £209 fully comp with commuting, unlimited miles and an aftermarket (but legal) can.

You lot are a bunch of gits. Looking at doing my test shortly, thought i'd have a look at different quotes for different bikes to get an idea. All over £1000 TPFT. Wish i was 25, i'd be down that Suzuki garage and taking a GSXR600 there and then!

No sot, I was paying alot less for my car insurance with 12 years NCB, clean licence etc, took a long time to get there. now i am almost startign again. Ok it not over a £1000 fully comp but not as cheap as I used to pay. on the plus side tax is loads cheaper, I get more MPG and its working out great

[Mad Dave]

Take heart mate, my first sports bike (ZX7R) cost me over a grand TPFT, and last year I paid £650 TPFT on my TL1000R - it's only this year i've managed to sort out Fully Comp cover - for the first three months of R1 ownership I was TPFT, and the bike cost over £4k!!

I'm not overly concerned, i knew insurance would be a killer to begin with, i've just had to budget for at least £1k for it. It can only get better (unless i chuck it down the road of course)

Out of interest, whats the TL1000R like to ride?
