Swann.

http://www.swanninsurance.co.nz/

Have the bike & quads with them, separate from house/car/boat/whatever as they simply can't be beaten as far as bikes are concerned, at least in my mind and based on research that I did at the time ... and have not bothered since to do any more comparing, as the service is excellent and premiums reasonable

I'm with Swann, cost $50 odd a month to Insure my 2001 ZX12R valued at $9500 and I'm 41. Applied online, haven't had any hassles.

Been with Vero for the bike over the past two years no dramas, but then again have never made a claim...

Aprillia 1000 RSV Mille, $40 per month with State, I am the only insured rider though.

Oh, $9000 value and I am 42.

Thats great news - I have no intentions of binning lol or having my bike stolen. Insurance the necessary evil lol. Judge by how good their claim record is.

Cheers though nice to know.

Your joking about swann arnt you?, even state gave me a better quote than them

Kiwibike is good, do a online quote then compare it with a swann online quote, huge difference.

+1 for GoLightly

I am currently insured with Vero via David GoLightly. Binned the last bike, payout was easy as, full gear replacement as well (~$2500). Was paying $46/month for $8000 cover. Now paying $66/Month for $8500 cover - higher rate due to claim.

The only issue is no track day cover. Certainly makes me quite careful on the track

AMI have always treated me well without taking an excessive amount of my money.

**Spearfish** · 14th February 2011, 21:02

Have you got other insurance, if so try a package deal as long as your happy with the cover.

A bit off topic...
As far as insurance goes it seems a little toooo easy to write a bike off, some of the bikes on trademe are nothing more than scratched, but then for some the holy grail is a proudly displayed scratch fee tank/bike.

Another waving thread.

Dave Hewer at Kiwibike Insurance should be high on your list of contenders. www.kiwibike.co.nz

Star, NAC, Vero, Protecta
All good bike Insurers.
All have different benefits, like roadside assist, apparel extensions
etc etc etc.

premiums & excesses will all depend on bike, rider, modifications etc.

Shop around to find which suits you best
