Newbie Bike Insurance

[Taffer]

Apologies if a thread exists but...

Looking at quotes for my CBR600F, which I should pick up very soon.

Is £600 a year reasonable for a 25 year old male, 5 years no claims and no points on car licence, new to biking? This is the lowest I've found on the 'net at the moment.

It seems to be much cheaper than everywhere else, and the T&Cs and excess are all similar to other policies offered. Places like Carole Nash were about £1400, and I don't think I'd be able to get much of a reduction if I was to get a 'personal' quote over the phone.

Personal experience and opinions would be welcome, along with the prices you paid for insurance, if you're willing to do so.

Thanks!

Hello mate.

36 year old adonis here. Been riding for about 3 years, have 1 years NCB, and I pay £600 odd on a GSXR750 K7. Yours doesn't sound too bad TBH.

Well kind of. I offered £10,300...he wouldn't accept anything under £10,600. So that was that!

Ah - I thought you had a date for picking it up = deal agreed. Whoops
