    I wouldn't go with the cheapest... often have a history of refusing to pay out, or do their best not to pay out (not saying any insurance company doesn't do that) but usually best to avoid them.

    That said, no need to go for the most expensive either.

    NAC took about 2 months to pay for repairs to my car after I crashed it. I even had to see a JP to get my insurance claim signed!

    I use Classic Cover. They are based in Hamilton I think. But you gotta be over 25 and have a bike over 250 cc

    As a reconised Insurance repair agent, I would Highly recomend Dave from Kiwiwbike Insurance

    He always works for his customer, NOT for the Insurance company

    I have never had any issue;s with claims using this company

    +1. I have found Dave to be great as well.

    You can find motorcycle insurance companies in the Wiki at this URL:

    But $200/year doesn't sound that bad to me ...

    I'd recommend Golighty (sp?), underwritten by Vero I think (ie Vero handles the claims, I think thats the right insurance term?)

    Bought a bike about a month ago, was riding it from Auckland to Queenstown, and crashed. Vero was excellent on the day, organised a pickup from Queenstown Motorcycles (big ups to them too), and had me and the bike back the next day.

    They've been great to deal with and the premiums were really reasonable, I'll definitely insure wiith them again.
    Where there's a will, there's a way.
    There's also an inheritance, which comes in handy.

    Almost. They told me only requirement is over 30 and full licence.
    Certainly cheap, compared to others. But like most, they no longer cover trackdays.
    I think Kiwibike is the only one who still do.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Statutory declaration - usually means that they didn't believe or were suspicious about some aspect of your claim.

    Kiwibike.

    I changed after AMI was taking liberties with my arse and also my wallet. Intensive phoning around all of the insurance companies resulted with the best price and also the best people to spend money with.

    Give them a call and have a quick chat.
