Insurance has gone mental.
Before I bought my SV a few weeks back, I got a quote for a 2005 repsol blade worth 5k.

Bearing in mind this was with a company who insured me last time I was on 2 wheels (just over 2 years ago) they kept my no claims of 3 years running which I thought was great.

Anyway, they quoted me £348 fully comp but the excess was about £500.

I got the quote for the SV from them.. £4500 purchase cost.. Brand new. £368.

I thought it wasn't terrible as I got to keep my no claims..BUT.. I thought I'd try a company WITHOUT any no claims, which I expected it to be astronomical.

Well the quote came back at £249 from Bennetts with lesser excess too

I went back to the originals and their reply was, "well you at least keep your no claims this way." "But over £100 cheaper with 0 no claims? Can't you do anything?" I asked.

"No, but you are better with us than them." I asked why?

He couldn't give me any reasonable reason as to why I shouldnt walk away with £100 in my pocket.
So I've had a few free tanks of fuel.. Well thats what I think of it anyway!!!
