Re: Motorcycle Insurance 2017?
My current insurer is Wicked Quotes (they were cheapest last time) and soon I will find out how much they charge to change bike on the policy...

Re: Motorcycle Insurance 2017?
I tried for a Bennett's quote but had more mods than their online application allowed so phoned and got a not so competitive price. I eventually went with Hastings, whose main concern was that the mods didn't alter the power of the bike. Also, and I don't know how other insurers deal with this, they only pay the market value of the standard bike and don't take into account costs of any aftermarket parts.
Currently pay £87 fully comp (including legal, helmet and leathers though I think they misquoted me) but I'm not so young anymore and don't live in a big city. Last edited by yokohama; 24-02-17 at 09:57 PM. |

Re: Motorcycle Insurance 2017?
No insurance makes any sense, even the insurance companies themselves admit it and will never tell you what actually affects your quote. My old SV had a GSXR front end and it pretty much doubled the insurance. For something that made the bike handle better and stop quicker.
All of the cheaper quotes on comparison sites would wet themselves as soon as you mentioned mods and wouldn't touch it. I also went with Bennets in the end but for a supposedly bike specific insurer their agents no surprising little about bikes and mods.
