I've just paid almost €700 to insure the Hypermotard!!!Whysub wrote: Sun Jun 08, 2025 3:46 pm Insurance is quite expensive here, and multibike policies are not a thing, as you insure the bike, more than the rider. I've 4 bikes, and the total cast is around €600, but anyone over 25 with s licence for a minimum of two years can ride them.
Other costs are cheaper though, such as vehical, tax fuel, tyres, labour rates and the weather means no salt thrown on the road in the winter and able to ride all year round, so get a full years use out of my insurance, not 6 or 8 months.

Re: Insurance costs!
Welcome to the club. That happened to me... "ah, motorcycle instructors are at a higher risk of crashing"Dickyboy wrote: Tue May 13, 2025 5:36 pm Is there something wrong with turning 60 and insuring multiple bikes, £375 last year, £775 this year with the same insurer or Devitts can find another at £600. Apparently they all have to be insured for business use but I only rarely use one of them for that purpose & get significantly less ppm than when I use the car3 bikes in all & probably only worth £12k total, really beginning to wonder if it's worth all the costs...
Really? Do you have ANY evidence for that or is it just another bit of made-up actuary nonsense?
