Thats a fucking joke. a 'sporty' learners bike isnt going to really be all that 'sporty', and how is it anymore dangerous then any other type of motorbike ?Originally Posted by conadz
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.
Iv heard NAC will insure anyone, but at a price.

It's not the sporty performance; it's the expensive plastic that is likely to get scratched..

Third party insurance....
Its the crash statistics that determine the insurance, and sadly alot of young idiots go out and make stupid mistakes which makes life expensive for the rest of us.

It's not actually, it's the loss ratio.
Premium income compared to claims costs.

What causes loss? Mistakes?

Not the main insurance companies. Kiwi Bike, Classic Cover, Swan and there are many more. Classic Cover, as the name suggests, is age dependant I think.

+1 for Kiwibike. Avoid the major insurance companies and stick with the specialist vehicle insurers.

A friend of mine had an accident in his car recently, insured with AA. Got told to take his car to the AA yard, they even offered to pay for his taxi back home. They arranged all the details of the repair and called him a few days later when it was all ready to be picked up.
Same friend had an accident on his bike, Don't know whether or not this was also insured through AA or not. But anyway got told to pick his own Motorbike shop with which to get the repair done, as I understand this is the case with alot of insurance companies. This shop had his bike for a Month or more and basically it took them a pretty long time to get it fixed and back to him, wasn't stupid amounts of damage either.
Your case sounds pretty bad though I would be spewing if I had to go without a bike for that long! Problem could be the shop, not AA.
What has the shop said when you called them to figure out what was going on?

Bikes can be a prick to get repaired. Often the problem is getting the parts because they replace everything with OEM new parts. Sometimes getting something out of the factories can take weeks if not months.
Look into whether it's the insurance company or the repairer.

...especially when they are older bikes like the OP's
"channellling the Pleideans"
was it the F2 or the GB? either would be a "parts from Japan and scheduled arrival after the Rapture" kind of deal.
Should have cash settled it and gone to egay.
edit: as for insurance I am with David Golightly and underwritten by Vero I think. Been very happy so far but never had to make a claim. So there's that.
I thought elections were decided by angry posts on social media. - F5 Dave
