Default 125 insurance?

Bloke at work just bought a new YZF125 and got an insurance quote of £800 he's 26 and was told that this bike made up 80% of all bike accidents and thefts last year? ******** I reckon.

Anyone know of a good 125 insurer?

Same here! £1,000 tpft

Lexham specialize in the low capacity bikes. They're Yam's preferred with new learner bikes

I got my en125 with a CBT at 24 and it was 37quid 3rd party fire and theft
Or 200 fully comp

That was with bennetts or it was 1300 with Carol Nash with free breakdown cover

800 seems very excessive

My NSR125 was more than the SV - "they get nicked a lot" was one of the reasons given I seem to remember.

I have actually just traded my TW125 in against my SV650. I have been quoted less to insure the 650 than my annual premium on the 125 and not by a little bit either. I asked why and was told that it's because you don't see spotty "yoofs" hurling across fields on 650cc pseudo sports bikes.
