First Bike Insurance

[chilli]

Can anyone recommend a good, cheap insurance company for my first insurance. A1 have quated me £700 for a ZX6R (03ish)

Thought that was a bit high?!

ebike insurance were by far the cheapest, and I had a bloody good shop around.

Im paying £725 TPFT on my ZX7R. It was the cheapest I found, and is with Bikesure - 08700 771377

Should probably say that I'm paying £1000 tpft for an '04 CBR600RR. I only passed my test last thursday and have a DR10 from 2003.

One online company quoted £210, 097.23 fully comp - why bother FFS?

I used Bennets for my first year for a ZXR400 H2 - £170 odd

In 2nd year went down to £130 odd and then after I had to make a claim against some one rear ending me they only wanted a further £110 odd for the ZXR750 L1 that I replace the 400 with

I use them too. £1000 Fully Comp for 2005 Triumph Sprint ST1050. Passed test last July so 0 NCB.
They were about half anyone else could come up with.

I'd second that, I'm paying £18 a month for my DL650, no NCB, just got the ticket. They also record a full year's NCB after 8 months of PAYG.

Was that a typo?

I found www.aquote.co.uk fairly reasonable for me

Bennetts - £160 fully comp on my ZZR1200 ! One of the few advantages of being an old git!!!

Never have I typed more deliberately! I really don't know why they bother. I could buy and insure a DB9 for that!

ZX6R, CBR600RR, Sprint 1050 ST ... I'm curious what made you folks chosse these as first bikes?

[andy4200]

Sprint wasn't really my first bike. I had a CBR600 for 300 miles or so before I bought the Sprint

I wanted to do some touring on the bike and the new Sprint seemed ideal for the job. I'm happy to say that after buying it, and doing a trip to the Alps, it's very capable that and definately makes me seem like a better rider than I am .600 miles a day is a piece of cake on it. Next is maybe a run to the Highlands and we're thinking about a trip down to Spain (not sure as my mate came off his bike on the last trip). We would have been taking the bike to Croatia but the one bad thing about ebikeinsurance is they won't cover countries outside the EU.

Can't wait to get home from work next week and take the bike for a spin. Sadly the TVR is spending more time in the garage than it's used to.

Thanks for the PM mark, I'll be looking into that!

I picked my bike as it's the one I really wanted without going into the litre area. I'm not one to compromise my standards and wouldn't have been happy on something smaller/less pretty/lacking in vroom!
