Learner insurance?

Has anyone had much experience with Protecta? They're giving me the better quote but I don't want to go with them if its going to give me trouble further down the line.

I used to be insured through Protecta via Kiwibike as the broker and they were absolutely fine, no issues with track days or anything...having said that, I didn't have to make any claims. I'd say if Kiwibike use them then they're fine

Im insured with protecta via Kiwibiker, Had to claim last year for 8k after an 'at fault' low speed off... no quibbles about the accident per se, but they did ask the shop for an 'itemised' bill, as it seemed a massive bill for a naked bike at 25kph.... MT-01's are NOT cheap to fix!

Had no issue's with them re-insuring.. but that was the first off in 27 years

Hey y'all.

I'm on the look out for a good insurance company.
Who are you insured with?

I'm a learner, under 25 and ride a 250. How much would insurance be?

Thanks

You're such a huge risk that insurance should be so expensive that you can't afford to ride the bike ...

(I'm insured through John Baker ... it's an excellent company - but it has been more than 25 years since I've been 25 .. so I have no idea what a young person would be charged - but check them out - I'd recommend them http://www.jbinsurance.co.nz/AonWeb/...troduction.jsp .)

I'm also insured with Protecta through Kiwibike. My bike was written off after the chain snapped and shot up through the fairing, shorting out the electronics. The insurance company were initially going to deny the claim as they said it was a mechanical failure, however Dave at Kiwibike went in to bat for me and after a very nervous 8 weeks they paid out on the bike. I've subsequently got nothing but good things to say about Kiwibike , and I'm back with Protecta through them for my current ride.

Oh, so they only do third party or comprehensive? I'm on a comprehensive policy at the moment, but was thinking of changing that to third party, fire and theft... looks like I'll be looking for another company if I do that then eh? The only other places that would insure me were State (really, really expensive - basically not worth it) and Kiwibike (can't remember what they quotes, but it was less than State and more than AMI).

Ring swann Insurance and enquire about their classic policy(bike over 30 yrs old, not ridden lots and lots,), I'll bet you their price and what they cover will out strip all others.A classic policy automatically comes with 24/7 roadside assist and return to home and if you insure your gear it covers up to 3.5K for rider and 2.5 K for pillion. Check it out.Further if you ring and advise them you are attending a track training day they will extend your cover for that day/days without any more dollars.

My RD is ridden every day I'll call em up though when it comes time to review my policy. Cheers for the heads up!
