The definitive motorcycle insurance thread

[Askor]

Hey there guys,

I am in need of insurance for my bike, and thought I'd ask here to see what the general opinions are.

Any input is appreciated

I am 17 years old at the mo (18 in october), my bike is a 1989 gsxr250, I've never been involved in a traffic accident, and I'm mainly looking for 3rd party fire and theft coverage (or equivalent)

What companies do you guys recommend I talk to? About how much would it cost per year?

Cheers

And when the insurance company they get you insured with tries to under-pay you when your bike is written off, they will negotiate with them on your behalf. Easier than doing it yourself, that's for sure.

I don't see why not.

Shudder, I can just imagine the whining:


"That's too big - it exceeds the orgy rules"

"If you leave you're not allowed back for a month"

"You've been bad - time for some pink"

"You put that in the wrong place!"

"Help, this is the members only lounge...."

There's an orgy the first weekend of every month in our area...but entry is by invitation only

Im 18, clean learners license.
NAC costs me roughly $8 a fortnight with a $900 excess.

Have yet to need it so i cant really comment on quality but they are friendly to deal with the few times I have done

Thats a massive excess... how much is the bike insured for ?

3rd party only
State nor AA will insure learners on "sporty" motorcycles.
haven't contacted kiwibiker, if anyone is in a similar situation is around to offer their experiences i wouldnt be against changing across.
