Best Insurance for 17 year Old?

[jamesterror]

I found topics about insurance threads but not to somebody my age.

I'm 18 end of June, however want to get on the road asap. Can anybody recommend the best insurer for my age?

I have considered just getting monthly insurance till I am 18, then blasting it for the year which (according to tescocompare) brings it down to £796.

I've used TescoCompare but cheapest is £900, which is odd because it was only £835 the other day on a year older SV650S now on a SV650 k4.

I will be getting fully comp.

All recommendations apprecaited, it just feels a killer that my insurance will be near enough half the value of the bike when I won't be using it for commuting..

Edit: Title should of been insurer what a muppet :/

Why not go for TPFT? Half the cost of the bike for fully comp. seems like a waste of money to me, but that's just my opinion.

absolutely unpredictable they make it up as they go along. Try motorcycle direct, bikesure or lexham (******s). avoid aquote/tesco (same company but they try like hell to dodge the question when you ask them for some reason)

Unless you bike's worth £5k plus fully comps probably not going to be practical. upto yourself though.

Go onto www.gocompare.com i found that site the best better than tescos

aside from them adding a markup on any real quotes. my advice would be avoid comparison sites.

I doubt you will do much better than that but try TG Webster.BB junior uses them and they always manage to give a competitive quote,even if they have to call you back a couple of hours later.

Yeh understand there after commision.

I said TPFT to the parents they seemed to say get FC. My choice though, but if I do drop or anything, it'd probably be cheaper to fix it from ebay spare bits and bobs.

im 17 and with mce insurance its 750 tpft, comes with legal cover and break down, both of which i have used and have been excellent services. the breakdown took 45 mins to attend thats the cheapest one i could find o and if you have an accident they give you a hire bike, i got an 07 bandit for my hire bike that was fun
