    My insurance is due for renewal fairly soon and I'm getting quoted £550 fully comp as the cheapest. What did you guys and gals find to be the cheapest quote?

    3 years NCB
    4 years riding
    24yrs old
    2010 RRA
    <5000 miles a year
    Social,D+P

    Should i go for it?

    :confused:

    £135 here. Limited to riding 5000 miles.

    Then again I'm 38, live in a relatively low-crime area with the bike kept ground anchored to the floor in a locked garage that's protected 24/7 by syphillis-carrying attack chihuahuas.

    Claims, age, security/storage/ area you live, experience and endorsements.

    No course will make any differance, well thats not true they will save you about £15-20 a year and cost more than 10 times that to do.

    Try a quote without the SP30 to see if it is a factor. Most car insurers now penalise a single SP30/50, some (admiral Group) even penalise you for doing the speed awareness course.

    £220 fully comp with BikeSure £0 excess

    7 Years NCB
    37 years young
    Garaged in a W London Postode
    20K Miles per year SD&P

    On my driveway it was £600 + £2000 Excess!

    Found that having previous experience on a Litre bike (CB1000R) bought the premium down nicely.:)

    sv 1000 as it shows you have a liter bike.

    if its your only mode of transport then that really screws you up.

    i know cia are about miles done on road. i do 60k a year in my van. for last 15 years.. made massive difference.. if you insure for less than 5k a year... you have only done 20k on road???

    Then you age, i'm 32 so makes a big difference.

    i have only had bikes four years ... so 4 year NCB

    and this is my first 1000.

    i pay less that £200.


    i'd imaging York a relativity low crime zone,

    have you tried the bikeinsurer.co.uk ???

    i never claim any security on a bike cause what if you claim you have a disc lock on , stop outside shop and sh$t happens.... most charge a extra excess.

    Deffo put the SV1000, for me 1000cc experience brought the premium down several hundred. I bought my previous CB1000R because I could not justify the premium (about £500), -a year later checked again, with 1 years experience on a litre it went down to £200 odd - go figure!.

    I'm sure 1 years NCB extra and being older made a difference but the litre experience (I'm guessing) was the main factor.
