You've sold yourself short on your poll by omitting a couple of major insurers.

But save yourself some grief and get in touch with Dave at Kiwibike insurance: www.kiwibike.co.nz. He'll make sure you get the best deal.

I had a look in the yellow pages, and on the internet, and put in those that came to the fore, more than others. I was limited to only ten lines, which is the other reason some have been left out. Could you please let me know the names of the other insurers?
thanks

Mine's with AA Insurance. Mainly 'cos our cars are there too. I didn't even need to lie to get insurance through them too. Might explain my excess though.

I had a good look around and kiwibike had the best deal. basicaly came down to price.

The down (up?!) side is that I have never had a claim, so its wasted money??

Classic Cover for me, good price and cover for trackdays, beat that.
Got a quote online with Ebike, the new one, my premium with them would be double !!! like bye bye Ebike

My gripe at the moment is trying to get rid of the title "Scooter boy" under my name.

Scooter boy can not be got rid of.....

I'm with AMI coz all our insurances are. Price is the same as Honda Riders Club quoted. Excess is "same as cc rating" in my case 750.

Rang and asked them if I was covered for a track day and they said that as long as it was a training day not racing day no problem.

Scooter boy under your title will go when you have made more posts.

I have already given Tricia most of my details via email, but I left out the company. I'm with AMI. High premiums, but low excess. Not that in tend to make a claim though.

Premium
- discount for $2000 excess
- discount for only 1 rider

Was then half of any other premium quoted.

2 grand excess on a bmw that would only cover an indicator.....

I like insurance companies that will insure me.

**scumdog** · 19th June 2006, 23:27

Insurance Brokers Alliance Ltd - local outfir and member of Brokernet NZ Ltd.

Despite:
Clean driving record.
Nil claims.
Older age bracket.
Live in 'good' area.

Most of the 'other' bigger names were a rort ($1,300 per annum for a $14,000 bike? - c'mon!!) despite the relative 'attraction' of my risk level.

They insure my classic car, hot rod and motorbikes for what I see as a fair amount ($780 for same cover for the $14,000 bike) .

I had insurance on two bikes I bought brand new on tick,case of having to - one in 1971,another in 1972....and have never been insured since.Until the early 1980's I rode mainly British bikes,no bike newer than 10 years old - insurance companies wouldn't go near such things back then.Through the '80's and '90's I rode some old Jap bikes,the most I paid was $200...again,unlikely any insurance company would talk to me.Then I bought a 14 year old bike,and kinda rare,value $2000,kinda an expensive bike for me.My most expensive bike now would be over priced at $4000 for insurance purposes.I always consider crashes to be my own fault and am quite able to repair my own accident damage.Third party would be handy to have,but not sure if it's available for bikes.Theft? Again,after owning British bikes through the '70's when no insurerer would go near them,I take my own measures to prevent theft....and I still do.

Sign me up Scotty.....
