Bike insurance for beginners?

[sil3nt]

I've got a full licence and been riding for years with no drama and Kiwibike wanted $600 from me. I pay less than half that elsewhere.

Kiwibike can be strange. Have had massively different quotes from different people a few days apart for the same vehicle.

Kiwibike are a broker, not an insurance company. They deal with a few different companies to try and find the best insurance deal for you. I am with Protecta, through Kiwibike and pay $329 per year with an excess of $500, for a bike valued at $3000. This was, and still is, the best around for my circumstances.

Fair enough, but brokers aren't infallible. It does pay to do some research yourself.

Insurance for protecta for a Yamaha XV250 cost $443 a year.

What are you talking about??? I am an insurance broker, and I am infallible. Except when I don't know something. In that event, I am still right.

Hey mate I was in the same situation as you a month ago and my insurance was 30$ a month with a Honda Spada VT250. I'd imagine it'd be the same price for any other 250.

BY THE WAY DO NOT RIDE YOUR BIKE WITHOUT REG OR WOF OR IF YOU FUCK YOUR BIKE YOU WILL NOT GET A PAY OUT

I learnt from experience

hi ...was wondering what sort of insurance prices beginners can expect to pay when getting a 250cc bike....have just got to do my theory then in about 2 1/2months am looking at getting a 250 bike... hopefully will be a 2009 plus hyosung gt250r tried one on for size a couple of weeks ago and felt very nice....the guys at hyosung nz on barrys point road were very helpful...just saving the last bit now.....any helpful tips or info would be apperciated......in the meantime hope to get down to mansfield to take a few pics of the racing this saturday....weathers looking good...cheers

I got mine through state, it was cheap as chips $118 p/a!!! In saying that I have other insurance with them and other bits and pieces make a difference.

another NAC user.
this is my very first time EVER insuring anything in my life and NAC seemed half decent, so here's my setup:
NAC
Market value = $3300- ? Suzuki Bandit 250, 1996, only just bought it for $3250- with 5k genuine k's on the odom
Full comp = $232.5 yr
Monthly Prem = $19.34
Excess = $600-
Theft Excess = $400-
free roadside, no cancel fee, pay monthly (no 10% extra fee)
add other riders for free to the bike insurance, also something about if i drive/ride another persons bike i am also covered for something. cant member now, prob if i was not a fault they would cover.
signed up over the phone, credit card details needed.

cheers 4 the help fellas

[shonofear]

did i sorta milk the market value of my bike?
meh

I have third party insurance with AMI for my $4000 150cc scooter, which I arranged when I was on my restricted license. It was approx $60 for the first year, and the second year was approx $35 thanks to the no claims bonus. 20 y.o female
