I just got off the phone with my agent and I am in shock. I have owned a '90 1000F for 3 years, and in that time, I have carried the bare-bones minimum coverage (liability) because they want roughly $2K/yr to insure it! [sm=insomnia.gif]

That isn't what shocks me.

What shocks me is that I can put full coverage on my new bike ('02 Kawasaki ZRX1200R) for 1/4 of that amount! [sm=wootwoot.gif]

I should have bought a naked bike years ago.

BTW, I think I have decided to keep the 1000F - it's just too damn pretty to get rid of.

I own a 87f and have just renewed my policy..........................................Wa it for it..................................£136.00. This gives me full cover with a bike value of £5k...........

 

Not sure who insures bikes in America but here in Australia most people use Shannons. The only problem there is once you make a claim they won't touch you. Then you need to go to another company I think ar called Insure My Bike or Insure My Ride. They are cheaper yet owned by Shannons....so I'm told by others in the know.

 

I can't even get Insurance.

 

Why is that, Trips?
I thought everybody could get an insurance, just a matter of money or are there some special rules in your country ?

 

My bike's fullinsurance cost about 650 us dollar a year.Next year it goes down140 bucks.In two years the bike is 20 years old then it costs about 200 us dollars,fully insured .They call it a "classic" insurance.

 

I've lost my licence too many times. When they asked me to list my offenses in the last 5 years I asked for more paper.

But what suks is that in 20 years of riding/driving on the road I have never made an insurance claim, and yet they keep insuring soccer mums in SUV's.
