Insurance for a GSXR K8

[lawrence567]

Alright guys,

I've been toying with the idea of getting a GSXR 600 K8.
Only problem being insurance.
My current company won't insure me on it & i'm finding it quite difficult to find a policy full stop if truth be known.
I'm 22 on wednesday have 3 years NCB & ideally want FC.
Now it seems ludacris that i can get a quote TPFT for £310 for my current 2002 Yam Thundercat but i cant get one for a new GSXR.
Anyone know of any decent people?
I tried Carole Nash aswell.
Help would be appreciated.

Cheers Guys,

I heard that Suzuki is doing a £100 insurance offer for the GSXR600 K8, could maybe check to see if that is available to you.

My GSXR600 K7 policy is costing me £600 back in March 08, I'm 30 and I couldn't upgrade my CG125 Bennetts policy to the Suzuki so I had to let the policy run till July before getting my 1 year NCB so when I purchased the seperate policy I had to start from zero NCB

Hopefully my insurance will go down drastically with 2 years NCB come renewal time next March *touch wood*.

I think the Suzuki promotion only applies to people aged 25+

I tried express insurance as a friend recommended me.
They wanted £6700 lol!
I tried my current insurer and they wont insure me on that bike!
I used tesco bike insurace and the cheapest i can find is £710.50p from h&r insurance! Comprehensive of course.
& in reply to the £100 for the insrance on the K8 its for people over the age of 25 with at least 4 years NCB!

Fook me! £6,700 for insurance

Although I'm not any happier paying the thick end of £600 to insure my Gixxer, at least the £5,900 it cost me for the bike brand new helped offset the insurance cost.

Surely by next March you'll still only have 1 years NCB though (either policy 1, from July 07 - July 08, or policy 2, from March 08 - March 09). Or are you saying your insurer will allow you to "add" two concurrently running/overlapping NCB's together? I would have thought you would only get 2 years NCB in July 09, IF you renew the policy on the 125?

I asked them why they were trying to rape me on insurance and they basically said although i have 3 years NCB from riding bikes i'm only 21 almost 22 insurance for bikers doesnt start to get cheap on new bikes for people under 25....
bds!

Try AQuote - and lie about your best quote so far.

They have always been good for me - and although a lot older - have not got a clean licence, and haven't had for years!

I explained this to Express Insurance back in March of my situation and was advised that as the CG is a separate policy, they accepted the 1yr NCB and simply added it onto my record even though it wouldn't make an adjustment to the insurance. They will treat it as 2 years next March.

They were ok with transferring my NCB elsewhere onto my current policy. So can't complain really.

I went with ebikeinsurance with my new bike. I'm 23, no ncb, passed my test on the 19th of july 2008 and riding a CBR600RR 04. i'm paying 760 fully comp, that includes breakdown cover, key cover, recovery and safety gear.

eta: i have also got 3 points and one claim.

My pal has a GSXR 600 k6 and he is paying about the same as me with the same insurer.

Just try confused.com, i found the lowest price on there will probably be the lowest or very close to the lowest you will get.
