Insurance
I may be getting older (not old, still only 52!) and the bike may stick of piss a little (R1100S) but when I renew my insurance FC for £47.11 per year, I don't care

Re: Insurance
Most vehicle insurance is a bargain when you consider how much the insurers might have to pay out for a claim against you.
Re: Insurance
Hoping for a big drop this year. I got some emails about renewing my Trident this year, it was in and around £130 full comp which is much more like it. Doubt the MT will be down to that, but hopefully not far off.

Re: Insurance
My multi-car (his and hers), has gone up from £600 to £900 and I can't find a new quote cheaper than the renewal!!!

Re: Insurance
Pretty much my view as well. Even a minor bump can run into many thousands when you factor in dodgy car hire companies (often owned by the ‘claim handling’ company) and other no win no fee companies chasing clients.cheb wrote: Fri Sep 01, 2023 2:18 pm Most vehicle insurance is a bargain when you consider how much the insurers might have to pay out for a claim against you.

Re: Insurance
I would if I could get a better price,but when I've shopped around only one quote was less (and by just a few££'s) so I'm going to have to pay it.Demannu wrote: Sat Sep 02, 2023 6:56 pm

There's a flip side to that though.

Re: Insurance
You're saving £50 this year with the higher excess, assuming the saving is the same if you claim withing 5 years you'll have lost money.

T'other day I did an online search for my bike in UK.
Lowest FC was £303. I paid about £200 last time 9 years ago.
