R1 Insurance for 22 year old.

[Pistolvip]

Hello all.

I recently purchased a 1999 model R1 with 4700 genuine miles. Bike is mint.
The day before picking it up i called the insurance company to get it insured.

I am 23 in July with 1 years no claims bonus.
The bike is insured 3rd party fire and theft.
Kept in a brick built garage.
DataTool System 3 alarm fitted.
Insured at a postcode with a reasonably low crime / theft rate.
Will be used on the odd sunny day to get to work.
Its worth about £4k.

Anyone care to venture a guess??

The winner may get a prize!

[Rawwr]

£3,100?

[DamienCBR]

My guess is £2,000

[supersingle]

£800?

[Vitesse39]

Did they even give you a quote?!!!

[chilli]

£1700? Did you have to shop around, or get any refusals?

I just got a quote for a new zx10r £600 fully comp.

I am 34 however but that's with 1 year ncb.

£1400

You probably wont believe this but...........

£250!!!!!

I questioned their quote. The lady asked her supervisor to check it too.
I asked for written confirmation which i am now in receipt of!!

That is cheaper then my R6's i have insured in the past!

There computer must have been a bit sick that day. I am not complaining though!
Its a done deal now!

P.s It is with Carol Nash.

I did not bother shopping arounf, just ripped their arm off!

[Mad Dave]

Take it steady though mate, eh

[rumpelstiltskin]

I had a Hayabusa insured then sold that and thought i had nothing better to do than to swap to a 99 R1,the b@stards wouldn't insure me!!!!

I would have ripped more than their arm off....

Funny the quote i got for the zx10r was only £50 more than the zx6R!!!

[Rawwr]

Which insurance company, just out of interest?

obviously their computer wasn't protected against the millenium bug and that why your quote is missing a 0 of the end

Thats a rip off i pay £68 for my thunderace .

[Mad Dave]

Yeah, Dennis is right - his Thunderace has the same lump as your R1, so should be almost as fast along the straights, but your R1 has far more chance of getting around the corner at the end of the straight, so your insurance should be cheaper

hehehe
