Bike insurance

Hi

I am planing on getting a Blackbird for my 15 mile commute along the motorway to work and back.

Being 23 and working in a good professional job, would it be beneficial to buy a POC and insure it for a year to get 1 NCB then in a year when I plan to buy something, it will make insurance better?

Do insurance companies care about what the NCB was accrued on? Also what would be the cheapest way to get 1 NCB?

Thanks!

I was thinking more, buy the cheapest bike possible and insure but not really ride it. Then buy BB and benefit from 1 years NCB?

I wanted to know, from other people's experience, whether insurers ask what the NCB was accrued on.

You can't do it on price comparison websites.

Its mostly motorway driving so thought a Blackbird style bike would be better as it has more fairing than a CBR600?

Also dislike the look of the ER6f which is the problem

Looks nice in the blue colour scheme! What sort of mpg/performance do you get out of it?

Do you have to ride it like a sport bike? i.e. get into the higher revs to get more torque or is it grunty down low?

Wow, what caused the massive jump in efficiency?

What sort of ride do you do? I'm going to be doing 80% motorway.

Lol fail at looking at the scale

Have you got any more pics of your bike with the double bubble?

I think it is much more sporty than the erf6 which I like and looks better for motorway riding than a sportsbike.
