Insurance....sigh - SV650.org

Maybe i bit off more than i could chew.

Im 17 and have an SV650 S (Passed A2 test a fortnight ago). Its a T-reg and has a power restriction on it.

Am i just wasting my time on this? At the moment 'choice quote' are offering me a £980 quid premium for TPonly insurance and this seems to be the cheapest. I simply cannot afford to pay 980 quid insurance a year on a bike which is worth no more than £1500.

Can you recomend me some insurance companies please...i live in the gangster lands of west london so i fear im even further wasting my time with TPFT.
Or do i start looking for something with a lower NU group...

Try www.insurance2000.co.uk or Ebike Insurance. For your age and london they seem to give good quotes, but mabey you will be fleaced anyway.

£1600 quid and £1243.20 respectively

The SVS is a group 10 bike and at your age in London just passed test?no no claims, you ain't gonna get cheap insurance.If you shop around you may get it for a bit less but don't hold your breath.

i paid over 800 TPFT first year when i was 22

yes svs is about 100 more expensive for me than the svn

Gods sake, the people that have been on here a long time and stil say 17 year olds can't get cheap insurance need to pay more attention. I am paying £445 tpft, I was 17 when the insurance started, 18 now. Try carole nash dude.

yep, but you dont live in london, which is a mare to get insured on when you are young.

Yes that's true, it is bound to be higher than my relatively quiet area, but he shouldn't give up hope. tpo was oddly mor expensive than tpft for mine, no idea how that worked. Was roughly £500 tpo

He lives in London
My son's quote for SV n
Age 20-three year's NCD TPO clean license £370 Passed test two years ago.That's with Ebike,and several others would'nt quote.
Once you get away from London you can get much better rates.

What about registering the bike at my grandmas address in Bristol (countryside)?

Is that cheating. WHy does it make a difference with 3party only.
