Have you tried http://www.kiwibike.co.nz/ ??? Admittedly I am no where near the 'under 25' range,

however they have given me such a good deal on the 1098 that I suspect they may be able to provide a good deal everywhere?

worth a try

Sweet as man, thanks ill check out kiwibike.co.nz

Yeah, avoid the AA if you want to insure a bike.

They don't really want to insure bikes, but instead of just saying "no bikes", they give you a farking stupidly large excess, and to boot they won't insure you at all unless you are on the wrong side of 25

and have your full license.

You'll probably want to avoid all of the "major" insurance companies unless you already have a big policy with them and want to keep it all together.

As mentioned before, request a quote through kiwibike.co.nz. I'm 23 with a learners and I got a great deal. Expect pretty high excess though until you're 25 and on your full license.

Actually, it might be less painful if you give them a ring and talk to them directly?

There is an 0800 number and they are very pleasant and easy to deal with. The 'request an on line quote' option might take a day or two and they will still have a number of questions to ask.

Also try jetboy, 0800 65 62 64 and ask for Tim. He works for John Baker Insurance who are insurance brokers. He got a good deal for me, and plenty of other KB's judging from all the past insurance threads...

Yeah Kiwibike is great. I just got mine sorted today for my new bike. Give them a ring at 0800 629 253. I got the one that included roadside assistance and trackdays included too. Much much cheaper than what AA was quoting me.

i'm under 25, learners licen, 250cc, with star insurance, just had an accident so bout to hit them up, will see how they go. chances r they all good since it wasnt my fault neways they'd just chase up the other party
