    Back on a bike

    Hey all just thought I'd come back and say hello, finally got myself back on two wheels again today purchasing a 2008 CBR600RR off a work colleague for a bargain!

    Went for a ride up SH1 to Warkworth in this brilliant shining winters day loving every second of it.

    Insurance cover seams to be more of a hassle now, extra theft excess and for theft cover it has to be stored in a garage at home or chain locked anywhere I leave it when I'm out and about. Premium also a few $100 more than when I owned my R6.

    This is through Lumbly, State wouldn't even insure me now as I'm under 25(24yrs) which I thought was crazy. I have had multiple cars with them in the past as well as a ZXR250. Nil claims/traffic offense history etc either.

    Any advice on a decent insurance company?

    And some pics, cheers!

    Nice! How much did that cost you? as everyone will say on here, try kiwibike , they broker for a few companies and understand bikers. The other one I'm with at the moment with through AON New Zealand which are brokers too and spit your insurance over 2 or 3 companies (so worked out cheaper in my case).

    Jealous.

    Hey cheers paid $7500 for it which I thought was pretty good as it's only got 12000km's on it and in mint condition. I've sent a quote request to Kiwibike, thanks hopefully I get better luck there and a lower premium.

    Hey cheers, I got a quote back from KiwiBike and it was almost half what I've currently got, will definitely be changing.
