Default MY gixxer stolen :'(

it was stolen a couple of months ago now but i still haven't got over it lol.

now i cant get insured on another 600 (not thats affordable anyway) cuz i lost my no claims bonus how s**t.

Sad times all round cant even get car insurance under 4500 anymore no matter what car.

insurance company's screw me over every way possible.

ive never seen why any one would ever drive with no insurance until now

truly no incentive anymore ?? agree?

aww **** one man!! i presume police were notified but to no evail!?

yea insurance companies love to eek as much out of ya as possible, and i think insurance is set to maybe go up, as the grouping is changing from 20 being the highest, to 50 being the highest, not sure though.

are you early 20's i presume, hence the non affordable insurance?

maybe worth buying a wee scrapper 125cc for like £200 and riding it for a year, will have you on the road, and they are surprisingly fun... or maybe it's just a novelty i enjoy after riding my 600 for a while, but maybe best option??

although keep trying insurance companies, i got quoted £1300 third party only on the Fazer online from a company, and then i phoned them and i got 3rd party fire and theft on the Fazer 600 AND YBR-125 for £300... so keep your head up

That really does suck but there is NO excuse for driving without insurance. Ever. What Dill is suggesting is a good idea, get a wee 125 or something and run it for a year, get your no claims back. Will surprise you what a difference that will make

You would soon change ya mind everytime you went passed a rozzer and they gave you 6 points and £200 fine and seized ya bike at £150+ to get it back.

well ive just turned 18 but even when i had my gixxer when i was 17 with no no claims my insurance was only 2200 but now i cant get anything any wear near that 5000 has been my best so far.

and ive already brought a 125 with the intention of getting a years no claims but its so much of a come down from the 600 ive had it about 6 weeks and its depressing lmao.

What about a leaner machine like a cb500, they must cost peanuts to insure.
