Kiwi Bike Insurance

[Biff]

Twas the time when the annual sinsurance bill be due on my motormacycle. So I traversed the tinternet looking for some companies specialising in bicymakewl insurance, and found this company:

www.kiwibike.co.nz (shit ye not Spank - snot quite the same URL as KB).

I flicked them an email requesting a quote, and I spoke with a lovely lady named Donna, wife of the man they call Dave me thinks

Knocked $500 off my existing annual bike premium they did, with quality service to boot.

Recommended.

I notice their 3rd party is only up to $100k. Lots of cars around that are worth more than that!

But it seems fairly unlikely that a bike is going to write off a whole car.

One would hope.

The man is Dave Hewer who with his brother Kerry do a lot of motorcycling. Last I saw them they had a V-Max & Honda hornet. Very competitive as is Classic motorcycle Insurance in Hamilton.

Unless its a rocket 3 those things could write off a bus.

I got a quote from that company before they are really helpful, and cheap too .

It's for that reason that I originally discovered Kiwi Biker -- I was checking out deals for my soon-to-be-acquired ZRX1200R.

Uncanny, Hitcher, that's exactly what happened to me! They gave me the best price for insuring my recent purchase (ZX12R) which I expected to cost an absolute fortune to insure. Dave took the time to *talk* to me which was most welcome and quite unusual nowadays. Excellent service, good rates. Highly recommended! And I stumbled on KB too!

are they underwritten by anybody? ie. a major insurer.(couldnt see anything on their website)

anyone got a claim experience they can relate?

Underwritten by Swan, I think. Haven't made a claim yet so can't comment. Service is excellent otherwise.

They're brokers for a handful of insurers. They'll sell you the policy that works best for you and your bike. I'm with Swann.

Excellent service and price.

Dave & Donna are awesome to deal with.
I even got a small check back from them for $40 because they over quoted the premium, along with a phone call to apologise for the mistake.
I doubt any others would have done that! I like dealing with someone who actually rides and really know what we need.

Yea i used them when i got the GSXR, i went through my history and they didn't hang up on me thats a first, good history though honest.
Was very good $1300 a year and i'm in the highest risk most laugh at, i had to pay $2400 for my GSXR600 with Swan.
Havent had a claim experiance, but my years up soon, alas the GSXR is a race bike now so wont be re nrewing just yet, but if i get back on the road or buy another road bike i will use Kiwibike for sure, they are great to deal with indeed, seems weird it's taken this long to surface on these parts
