Bike Insurance - who is the best

[cornholio]

Hi

please forgive me if this information is elseware on the site =)

I am almost set for using my bike but I need to get the bike covered
it's a GSXR 250cc, can anyone point me in the direction of some good companies that I should look at.

When I first got my bike the cheapest Insurance for me (being on a learners licence) was with Star Insurance - full comprehensive cover for $350 a year. Apparently standard(ish) cost for most 250cc bikes . . . . 09 250 6000

Try doing a search on insurance you will find lots of info

[Jonty]

Try Golightly Insurance ChCh (underwritten by Vero). I think full insurance on my CBR is about $500 a year which is not to bad for a reputable insurer.

I rang up Kiwi Bike (0800 629 253) and found them exellent and through Swan were alot cheaper than other companies that I tried.

I have found Classic Cover to be very reasonable. They advertise in Kiwi Rider. Keen to see 'bugjuices' results before recommitting to insuring the new 10 with them though. When do you think you will be posting those quotes bugjuice dude????

[bugjuice]

just waiting for one more to come back, then call my current insurer to see if they can do better, then I'll make a new thread on it all..

haha cheers for this, i deal with Star Insurance and Classic Cover,

The good thing about these guys is that they cover the "rider improvement days" out at puke etc...

Good luck... oh and bugjuice.. your putting me under pressure here!! haha keen to see your results as well!!!

:hitcher:

oh dear.. if you were clever enough to get some schmuck to give you ins in the first place then it is likely that any claim would be declined as you were riding "outside the conditions of your licence" and the insurance co would argue that you having a more powerful bike would have contributed to the accident.. blah blah.. sooo.. if your gonna ride your FZR400 then i wouldnt bother, :nono: but its just the risk u gotta take aye..

[zeRax]

ya, stranger stuff has happened thou, like people getting acc after they got hurt while doing something illegal, cause after all , it was an accident that they got hurt wasnt it, they ment to succeed in their illegal activity without getting injured - sigh :\

We are thinking about getting insurance on the Guzzi's and my KTM640.
Because Serowdownunder in going to ride the MKIII, she wants to be
covered. (because she does not want to face me with a busted bike)
So I may insure the lot.

Did a search on this site and lot seem to like Swan. But the MKIII is too old
so they are not interested.
AMI are to dear.
Star looks good. Has any one used them? Any feed back at all on them.
And are waiting for David Golighty for, or on behalf of Vero to reply.
And I (SDU) has not found Classic Cover yet.

Now we have 4 bikes, 2 on road only and 2 dual sports bike.
So It's going to cost :crybaby:
So the Vero cross? dual? cover may be the best for us.
Unless someone can think up with a better solution for us.

I think i was paying about $334 / yr for full cover on a learners for a '90 Gixxer thru National Auto Club. I also have my car there.

I still have the policy but the bikes long gone, will swap it over to my ZXR once its on the road.
