Default Is This The Most Expensive Bike Insurance Ever

Got an on-line quote from Motorcycle Direct for comprehensive insurance on a K3 SV650S, with 0 NCB, no speeding or other convictions, and no claims on any vehicles for well over 20 years. Guess what the premium was:

£94,500.80

Of course it's incorrect and the full stop was in the wrong place, but got me thinking, if anybody can beat that for a quote
?

There was a similar thread a while back, sure someone had £99,000 summat. I had the same when getting a quote last year for mine. Cheapest was £160 FC, £88 TPFT, amazing difference

Biggest I've had as 17 year old rider, 1 years NCB, KT24 postcode, ept in a locked garage and alarmed, for a bike with a £2000 value, has been £6,752.87 (Just did a comparison again, see if I could beat it.)

Cheapest was £827 FC, £265 TPF&T. I'm going for the cheaper one...

I was well chuffed

You'd have thought they'd never go bust with prices like that

Bargin. Still cheaper than it was to insure my XR2 back in the early 90's!

Doesn't sound incorrect but more like they don't want to insure you (seen it a few times before).

SW not bad? SW is one of the top 5 worst post codes for theft IIRC. And I used to be in SW17!
