Insurance issues...

**manwithav8** · 4th June 2007, 13:10

Morning all,

well I have decided that the Monster 900 is my bike of choice so started on getting quotes for insurance so I know what it will cost and can factor that into my purchase..

The problem is, I called my insurance company ( AA ) who have said that because it is a Ducati they will no insure the bike... No other reason was given, just the fact it is a Duc....

SO the question I am putting to you is what insurance company to you use to protect your pride and joy and could you give me some round about costs as to what you pay in yearly premiums for what sort of bike... I know it will be different for each rider and bike but hopefully I can get a pattern...

So can someone please give me a hand on this..

Cheers

PS Can't wait to get my monster..... Damn licence issues....aarrgghhhh

Classic bike have an age threshold - I think it's 30.

Kiwibike in New Plymouth were great with me and McJim - we're currently insured through them and McJim has a Ducati.

Ditto here. These guys were by far the best quote and arranged everything over the 'phone.

Check 'em out.

Agree. Kiwi Bike has been excellent for me too. I'm on my restricted and under 25, yet I pay $180 per year for full cover on my bike. That's less than it costs me to register it for a year, let alone run it! Peanuts. Give them a yell on the phone - 0800 629 253 and get a quote... or email, dave@kiwibike.co.nz . Sorted! Let us know how you go

Classic Cover have my Ducati & Triumph insured, no probs whats so ever.

I have cage, house & contents with AMI. The insured my (old) bike for very little, and said they they do not really insure bikes unless you are with them, but if you are they give you a very good deal as a 'courtesy'.
Might be worth looking into and switching the rest of your stuff to them as they are pretty good anyway and competitive too.

I am using State as a package deal was offered: House, contents, cars, and bike. Bike by itself is $650 ish a year

don't touch protecta they are lazy slack-arsed ****s probably from israel or something.

star/kiwibike (underwriters for star lol) etc they're pretty good and have a good payout history.

So much for the new found reliabilty being accepted by all. Looks like the same dirty old rumours are still circulating in certain quarters

(sorry to all Ducati owners, but this cracks me up

)
