Actually I need a some of advice.

My insurance for this bike runs out on Sept 1st, and if all goes well by then - that should give me 3 years no claims discount.

Do you guys recommend that I wait till September and sell it then (to get the 3 years NCD) Or just sell it now?

Personally, I'd get some more riding out of it and sell in Sept.

I'd say get the no claims. Go on a comparison site and put in your details now and then make yourself a year older, with an extra year on your license and an extra years no claims and see what the average drop is, then decide for yourself.

You'd have to let the insurance run anyway to get the no claims so might aswell ride it until then.

Quick question on your mirrors, do you still get a decent view in them as they look a bit shorter than standard mirrors? I do like them though might have to invest if they're OK.

If the bike sells, just let the insurance run on anyway and you will still get your NCD wether you have the bike or not.

everyone has their own views on insurance.. But I was in a similar situation about 18 months ago.. I sold my R6, at 10 months into my policy. (i paid my policy up front in full) I was at 5 years NCB coming up to 6.. I rang the insurance company and asked if i would get any money back for canceling and they said no, as the end was so close.. in the end I just left the insurance running for the last 2 months to get my 6 years..

(I will probably get Flamed and people say that's illegal.. but hey ho, people have done worse )

Ill stand corrected on this but i think 4 years NCB on a motorbike is the maximum. Anything above that doesnt really matter anyway...

Lets stick to the original purpose of this thread shall we - selling a bike. Other chit chat can go in a new thread in a different section, or off to pm.
