Might have to get on to him re that then !
Just pulled my paperwork out and it dosen't break it down but i'm pretty sure (dont quote me here as my second name is Alf symers) it was under the 100 mark for third party on H's 225 scorp !
Though i opted for full cover (which i shouldnt have, but its all gonna change soon with a bike change for H)

Hmmm, something funny going on then...perhaps I should have rang him...to late now tho as I got it through state about 10 mins ago.

I'd have definatly gone through KiwiBike even if it was just a little more, I like to support bike specialist companies....but when its over double...I have to move along.

Highly recommended. I have insured both bikes with them. Couldnt be happier. Thanks Donna and Dave

Did "Betty" go down too?

Yeah, a while back.

And then I wrote off kiwifruit's R1 while I was waiting for Betty to get fixed.

Had a really good policy worked out but as it turned out my encounters with and lack of radar detector (or responsible riding) meant they wouldnt cover me.

So Kiwibike will give you a discount if you have a detector...?

Don't know about that, but did have the detector covered as part of the insurance on "Roxanne".

Im currently with state - just cos thats where all of our policies are (house, car etc) what are kiwibike like price wise compared with the likes of State etc? We had a second car and a 250cc m/bike which were costing us in total $58/month to cover... we sold both and got me the 800cc Boulevard and its costing $60/month to cover... I had expected my ins costs to go down, not up

I know the higher the CC rating the more expensive but I expected more expensive than the 250cc, not the 250cc AND a car!

your getting a raw deal mate, in the same boat but I don't pay that much per month for the bike! maybe it's the extra 200cc youv'e got?even though your on a cruiser and mines a sports bike.....you'd think they'd consider that sort of thing....

[Ehgreiz]

Yeah i have to agree with kiwibike, great service and great price.

all other companies i checked out i was looking at at least $1000 premium as im on my learner's still and under 25,

however with kiwibike i got full coverage for just under $600 (excluding gear) including roadside assistance.

ps. the bike i insured is my Suzuki Vl250 cruiser (brand new - pick it up on thursday - cant wait!)

i signed up for this instantly online, and when i called them up just now (haven't recieved DD forms yet) - i spoke with dave who sorted that out (adv. me they were sent on friday - i was just being impatient haha)

so yeah, top points for Kiwibike.

[RnB Fan]

Great service through KiwiBike here as well.

The 9 works out to $37/month for $5500 cover. First quote was for about $270 per year but you have to be ticket free for 5 years (that just anit gonna happen) and have it stored in a locked garage (got no garage). The second quote was between the 2 and didnt worry about the tickets but wanted the bike in a locked garage.

So Kiwibike will give you a discount if you have a detector...?

I think it is plain silly that tickets come into it. If I crash my bike at 100km/hr it is going to cost the insurance compnay the same ammount as if I crashed at 112km/hr.
I had a argument with the car insurer when they packed a sad about my demerit points and I told tehm that I am insuring for accidents not for speeding tickets but if they want to cover my speeding tickets then thats fine.
She spouted about how if I get lots of speeding tickets then I am higher risk because I have more chance of crashing.
I told her to check my history. Oh, 10 years claim free you say? That blows your theory out the window doesnt it?

unfortunately insurance companies dont give a crap about the fact that you as an individual havent had any claims or crashes in the last 10 years. They only care about statistics.

my premium is more than twice yours for a 250cc 6 grand bike, because i fit in the age bracket of 18-25 - naturally im never gonna ride my bike when im actually sober because the statistical majority of drunk driving incidents involve 18-25 year old males...

fuck statistics i hardly ever drink let alone get drunk, thats not my scene - the big wigs dont care though, they are all about the deniros - theirs, not ours.

Try getting insurance when about 24yr old for a Ford Fairmont,soon as she/he said 6 or 8cyl look out.The couple of companies didn't care no license loss or crashes just fact I was under 25,wife was turning 25 the next week so she was main holder,my excess was $750 hers $250.They couldn't answer my reply that when I turned 25 in 13months or so,did that mean I was more mature then.

Think they quoted me $22mth last renewal (was pay annually year previous)and value about $3500.
