I've just renewed my insurance on my 2006 600 Hornet today. Bearing in mind that I'm 29 and that I've totalled a bike in the past couple of years, as well as doing £1700 worth of damage when the bike mysteriously fell over, I was quite pleased with the deal I got.

Last year I paid £566 (zero no claims discount) for fully comp insurance. This year, with one years no claims I've got it down to £385. I've remained with Motorcycle Direct, though my policy is actually with AXA. £250 excess, ride other bikes as 3rd Party, Personal Injury Benefits, UK breakdown cover, 30 day European cover and legal cover. I didn't think it was bad, though it's now about the price I paid for my first year. Damned accidents

That sounds like a right bargain Ant. :clap

I always have to get re-quotes to get either same price
or lower. :blah

I think I'm with Bennetts, £90 fully comp 1 yr NCD. Not bad for an oldie. :smoke

 

[Antnee]

My first year with Bennetts would've been around the same price that I'm on now, but I hadn't binned the bike by then, and then had the other fall over when I wasn't anywhere near it. All things considered I reckon I'm back to the starting point which isn't too bad. Finally having a bike is being affordable again (until the CB? )

I like "CB?"

Bit like me, wishful thinking. :taunt2

..but the Street Triple at (only) 5K.... :blah :blah

Have me reg for the cb1000r now and just sorted me insurance its cheaper than me 600, all in order and ready to roll. :evil

 

[Antnee]

Yeah, I got my reg a couple of days after I ordered mine. Know it off by heart already I'm going to decide on insurance this coming week I think.

fully comp insurance

Learning well, you are Jedi.

It's the only way to go for a new-ish or expensive bit of kit. Third party is for shit-boxes only.

Third party is for shit-boxes only.

Guess which type of insurance I have :rollin

 

[Antnee]

So, does that make YOU a shit-box John, or your bike?

After the amount of curry eaten on the Wales trip, you may have a point :sick
