Default Insurance quote, dont think you'll expect this!

Ok so i got curious and was wondering now i have the sv what bike can i get when my restriction is over, was looking at the zx636 2005 model, sv1000s, and a few other just for fun e.g zx10r and the zx12r ( as i'd love either of these 2 more than anything) I got some quotes.

Here are the results

19 y/o, 3 yrs ncb, 3 points

TPFT

sv650s - £331
zx6r - £508
sv1000s - £439
zx10r - £488
zx12r - £389

Does anyone have any explanations as to why the insurance is so low on the zx12r?

I read on mcn the 12r is group 13 and on bikez.com that it is 16. If it is 13 i can understand but how could a 200mph missle only be group 13.

My theory is because its classed as a sports tourer and not a all out sports bike that brings the price down, but i still cant believe how low it is.

That is MAD, and a bit wierd...

I shouldnt think youll want to get rid of the 650 so soon, without the restrictor its pretty quick (or havnt you got one on?), and also handles (as you might be able to tell) very well!

Upto you though i guess.

No not getting rid of it yet. Maybe 2 years after my restriction just because i love to tour and that would be ideal for me and the mrs to on

Same as me 21, its crazy. This could be my second bike, keeping the SV when the restrictions up but i could use this for touring.

It's quite simple. It's not a hooligan bike like a Niiiinjaaaaaaa Mate innit! so the owners are not crashing it or leaving it outside to be stolen.

its the performance thats crazy though, so technically if i didnt have a restriction i could buy one for about the same price as the SV and the insurance is about 200 more than the SV and i would have a 185mph bike. I wouldnt do this but its nice to know i have the option.
