Re: insurance in London officially sucks (yes its another insurance post)
I live in central London and my insurance is a fraction of that.
The location isn't unimportant, but the age/circumstance of the proposer is still the most relevant factor. It's not so much where you live as who you are, which you can't quickly do much about sadly.

ZX6-R and SV1000. NW3 postcode, full cover.
I'm sorry that you're finding insurance expensive, but the underlying important factor is the proposer, other factors will unquestionably affect the premium, but it's your circumstance; age, insurance history, experience, occupation etc that really make the difference.

Don't forget that Sid Squid is well advanced in life (as am I ) and is no longer classed as insane on a motorbike, although there may be a few who disagree!
Advancing years = cheaper insurance. |

When I am 40 and have ten years NCB then of course I can expect a significant reduction in my premium. For now let me moan about postcodes. Thank you and goodnight Vienna phew |
