Been using the usual insurance corps for my first quote. Most have been quoting around the £650-£700 mark. Then I tried a company called H&R Insurance......£220.84 f/c on an R6! Fantastic.
That's all really, just thought I'd share that with you!

Exactly what I was thinking.

My Speed Triple is 10 years old, worth £2K and I am 32 with 2 years ncb and I pay the same.

I would definately check the details. H&R are good, but I don't think they are that good.

Wasn't telling you to ring them. Come on, it aint hard...You could always go into google and search for it.

The bike is worth around £3k
I'm 33 and have had my licence for over a week now!
The only difference I noticed with this company, is that they enquired about my NCB on my car...Which I have 5 years.
Agree though, sounds too cheap to be true. Will def ring to confirm the details.

I was with them last year - were by far the cheapest for 3rd party insurance.

Didn't penalise too highly for points on licence - and (although never had to claim) there were very helpful and was very happy with them.

However when changing to fully comp on a SV650s - this year after 1 years licence (29 years old - 9 points) they were not even slightly competitive. I would definitely recommend re-checking details.

26. No bike NCD. 0 years riding. 6 years car NCD. 9 years driving. Sensible postcode. £900 f/c for GSXR600 K3 with enough security to sink a ship.

I imagine your details are similar to mine?

43yrs old, Bike licence for 27yrs, Ducati 916, 4yrs NCB, 6pts on licence fully comp £270 with Carole Nash, so the £220 for an R6 sounds about right......for my profile, sounds bloody good for a 1 week licence holder, just try not to 'need' it.

Dennis, give Bennetts a go. They never used to be competitive for me, but this year turned up £160 fully comp on my ZZR1200. 37 y/o, 5 yrs no claims/convictions, garaged on the edge of Bristol.

Renewed my insurance a couple of weeks ago. I'm 32 8 years NCD, bike license for 13 and living in rural Berkshire.

£195 fully comp for a joint policy on my Firestorm and CR500 supermoto. Unlimited mileage, class 1 business use and protected NCD. There are a few special clauses on the CR500 though.

Dyer and Holmes/Swinton were the people responsible.

BTW this is my first ever PH post. Hello everybody.
