Happy with insurance!
 

Must be the first of this type of threat but I thought it worth saying.

I have recently bought myself a GSXR 750 K7 and was fully expecting to have to pay nearly £1000 for tftp cover. Bearing in mind that I am going to be 23 on the day of collection with only 1 years no claims and three points.

Ended up paying £305 which included legal and breakdown cover! Thats with express insurance.

Well happy.

That's damn good! Was that 3rd party or fully comp?

Last time I checked for one of those with 1 years NCB it was more like £600 for me...off to get a new quote :)

haggle with them, i haggled mine and got it from 19 a month down to 11, and with free legal cover

If that's not the FC price, then what's the difference?

Re: Happy with insurance!
 

Say what? £305 < £1000

Its tftp. Going fully comp would be a false economy at my age considering hikes in insurance costs if I claimed, excess amounts etc.

Re: Happy with insurance!
 

I was asking if that was fully comp or TPFT basically.
Have you looked into a quote for fully comp?

Re: Happy with insurance!
 

I did, FC quote was £1350 with £1000 excess.

Bargain.

Feck! I know you seem a pretty careful rider but just take it easy then sir, don't wanna be crashing that at your own fault.

im happy too, just got full comp both bikes sv1000 and sv650 for £315 from swinton, ride any bike etc
thats half the price carol nash and 2/3 what bennets quoted. one company quoted me £700, i also check doing each individually (one using ncb the other with zero) and best i could get was £390
