Insurance for the bike

[Boob Johnson]

Hey dudes & dudettes. I pick up my new bike on Tuesday & was wondering about insurance. I did a lil search of past topics etc but it turned out to be fruitless.

Soooo, what I would like to know is who's got what with who & of course, how much


Im a 34 year old male, bike is a 1988 Yamaha SR250. Will be stored in a lock up garage. So im half expecting it to be a reasonable price.

What are you currently paying in annual premium's & whats the cover etc.


Cheers for your help in advance




ps: I did read the thread about state

Classic in Hamilton. A number of KB'ers have changed to them and saved heaps.
Did me a real sweet deal over the phone.

Also give Kiwibike a call 0800 629 523. www.kiwibike.co.nz

They are brokers and ended up with the best quote for me.

Classic are no good unless you have had your FULL bike license for at least two years.

No problem for me ...I'm an old fart. Sometimes it pays to be old. Nother ten or so years and I'll have that library pass, bus pass, cheap theatre tickets..........
Boob Johnson is 34 but may not qualify on the licence thing.

Hey Boob
i rang up AMI as other insurance with them, for when i get my 250 and they stated would be about $450 per year and then would go down over $100 next year after having ridden for 12 months and having full licence. They stated that the highest risk time was the first 12 months hence the higher fee. Other option was third party which was like $45 for the year. That quote was for a bike valued around $3000.
By the way i am 40, but the age appeared irrelevant (heheh the way i like it) due to being on a learners licence. Think would be similar for all insurance. Hope that helps

If your bike is 20 years old and not a "classic" or performance machine, is full insurance going to be worth it over the time span of your ownership? Maybe 3rd party might be more economical. I am no expert( on any subject whatsoever ) but realise that it can be hard to pay premiums for a few years on something that is devaluating fast and taking into account any excess etc.
Having said all that I am insured through Protecta and pay $653 per year which theoretically insures "full cover" for a bike worth about $9k. Dont know how that stax up with others.
