Default Insurance question again

Right as you may be aware ife put a deposit on a Daytona, as my sv insurance isn't due for renewal until early Feb I think what are my options to cover me on the daytona if only to get in 1.5hrs home.

My insurance company told me I'd be best leaving my sv insurance to run, start a new policy on the daytona and then add the no claims from the sv once it's up.

Make any sense?

I take it you've still got the SV?

Yes I think I will advertise it in the new year, I would now if I thought I'd get a good price for it.

I've got several bikes on one policy, is that not an option for you? If your current insurance company won't cover both bikes, or extend the policy to cover both bikes for a day (or swop them) to allow you to get the other bike home I'd be tempted to pick up the phone and ring round a few other brokers. If you explain you have two bikes to insure with ten months no claims on your current policy there's a good chance you could pick up a favourable quote.

I've got one year and 10 months ncd. Do you mean switching insurance companies before the current one is up?

If you're current one won't give you want you need then yes. As per a recent thread on here discussing NCD it's not exactly a science following a mathematical formula, I'd be very surprised if a broker didn't give you the equivalent of two years with that history, especially if you were potentially bring two bikes worth of cover to them..... Look at the alternatives.

If you've got two bikes then you either need to have one uninsured, a policy that covers both, or two separate policies. You could take out an entirely new policy on the Triumph and let the SV one run on, but that will put you under real pressure to sell the SV come February, and if you really want to keep the Daytona for best as per your other thread then it might make sense to hang on to the SV.....? If you're not going to ride the Daytona until the Spring (hard if it's winking at you every time you go into the garage) you could see if you can get it delivered home and risk it being uninsured until you sell the SV, but do you really want to do that?

Personally I'd shop around for a broker that will cover both bikes on the one policy and if that means walking away from the last few months on the SV policy so be it. I'm with Carole Nash where I've got two policies, each covering four bikes. Neither costs over £250. That's got to be better value than trying to insure eight separate bikes....!

I'm with carole nash as well, I think it's probably best I make a phone call.

Eight bikes, that's plain greedy!

They may well pay off in the future as the classic 'barn find'

You can get daily temporary insurance cover, but it doesn't help for road tax purposes.
