Bike insurance

[erix]

Im also a newbie here, I had the same question as you 2 hours ago LOL, I have just brought my full cover thru kiwibike for my VTR250. I did spend some time on reseaching, made a lot of phone calls, but no one's quoto beats kiwibike. Most importantly, they are really friendly and have good reputation

We have everything through North Harbour Insurance brokers in Orewa/Warkworth. Their quote was good. not the very cheapest but I liked the people and had dealt with them through my work as one of our clients used them. Just used them for the first time (not my fault) they handled all my information and calls really professionally, did way more that they had to with calls and emails to make sure I got what I wanted. They have made things real easy while I haven't been able to drive etc and are leaning on the guy that hit me/his insurance co' for funds to cover my gear also. All our situations are different so the quotes will be too but I can reccomend the service 100%.

Try e-bike insurance. Its all done on line and only cost me a little over $500 for a year for comprhensive cover with $500 excess. (ASB quoted me $1400 for the same cover!)

Another fan of kiwibike. Was horrified at how much AMI quoted when I was looking at insuring my first bike. Dave at kiwibike was awesome. Even gave me some riding tips and some good books to read.

yep, again took this forums advice and went with kiwibike brokers.(Swann Insurance) I can recommend to others.

mate im on my learners too and i rang around like you trying to find a good deal. my friend a fellow learner got a quote for just third party from the AA for just 70 bucks a year. but to get this u have to be a part of the AA.
i wasnt so ive been cruising around with no insurance for quite sometime. the secret is to not crash into anyone and if you do make sure u wernt at fault...simple as that lol.

I'm 26 - got my learners license on the 18th of september and I drive a 1989 Kawasaki ZXR250RR. I have got comprehensive cover through state who also does my car and my contents. After having had a serious chat with them on several occassions I've managed to get them to give it to me for $211/year. My argument was that while I was new to driving motorcycles they are insuring my '98 legacy GT-B @ $12.5k for less than they quoted me first (~$600/year) and that I was quite bothered by being treated as a young kid who just got onto the streets for the first time.

So yeah, have a chat to your insurance company about it and if you already have other insurances with them don't be afraid to be critical and opinionated about the treatment you're receiving.

/rant on
And finally - if you don't get at least 3rd party cover you're an irresponsible prick. If you can't afford 3rd party - you can't afford to ride - period.
/rant off

Stay safe

ive just sent off for a quote with kiwibike... currently with star, but not impressed with them. the one time ive needed them for the bike, they sent a guy whos booster pack was flat, and he had NO tools... not good when the battery is under the seat.
