New Biker Insurance
Discussion
Just passed my test and am trying to stick to a reasonable budget by keeping the cost of insurance down. To that end my choice of bike is hugely motivated by insurance cost and have been shopping around on the net for quotes before i commit myself to buy my trusty steed.
Yesterday i quoted for a 2001 Bandit 600s (Faired) TPFT - Nearly fell of my seat when it came back as £90... yes ninety... I'm nearly 30, have one SP50 and live in the RG12 postcode. I don't get it. Why so cheap - What catches in policy small print should i be looking out for??

huge excess? any legal cover? the usual really.
where are you keeping it? garage or shed is a lot better for insurance than the road obviously. if its a garage they often have clauses about it must be in the garage from 10pm-6am when stored within 1/2mile of home. fair enough in my eyes as they've insured it in the garage so you shouldnt be parking it in the road.
it doesnt sound too far out to me tbh. i think another chap on here got a fj1200 for about £90 as a new rider not long ago. i got a rf600 parked in the road with no security for £147 in 2007 right after my test.
