Classic, who do you insure with? As well as being old(er) I'm also a lazy SOB & just renewed my insurance every year without even thinking about it, I was watching the Moto GP & saw the advert for the one I'm on now.

and I just checked my renewal and its gone up to $375+tax
BTW- it depends where you live ...how much excess you are prepared to cop ...and market value that you claim your bike is worth...
I insure for a total wreck mostly ...( 1000 excess ) because it ain't worth claiming under that ..it just puts the policy price way up .. ( 5000 market value )
So if I olny have minor chit happen , I wear it ... and if I total her , I can just replace her ..

Yeah, mine arrived $435, nearly a $100 more than last year, $400 excess (65% no claim bonus) supposed to include Old F*rt discount + more than 10 years riding experience + no claims made in the past 5 years (been over 40 years since I made a claim) + market value. Can't see my post code making any difference, cause it's classified as a medium to high crime area (inner city) so bollocks to that. Check out this site & just put the numbers in & see what quote comes back. https://w3.insuremyride.com.au

Must admit that I suffer a bit from the "I could freakin care less" Pace ...
but I will out of interest have a look ...
I have always had the attitude that hey , we are up a beating if we bother to claim for small chit , so as I said , I am only insured in case I destroy my CBR
but thanks mate ...

No wonder most of the insurance companies are owned by banks.

I'm an old fart too. So old, in fact, that I don't buy less than full coverage.
My insurance cost is near $100 a month, but I chalk it up to a cost of doin' business.
I blame the squids! (just kidding)
I had a hard time finding a company that would insure a 1000RR. With a clean record including clean abstract and claim-free, that's just how it is.
My previous discount insurer was a write-off themselves. Sure, low price, but just try to collect/break even when not at fault!
