It's the 975 compulsory that puts me off, other than that I'm happy with the quote.
Can insurers remove compulsory?
Yup. Ask them, the premium will go up though. Not sure about completely removed, but they can certainly take it down to £50-100. £50-300 is the reasonable area IMO. Also depends on what excess you can actually afford if you have to claim.
When I passed my test the next day I bought a ZX7R, I rang the Insurance & the woman asked me how long had I passed my test, 23 hours ago was my reply.
Insurance was something like 128 quid a year, Finally a benefit to being old.![]()
Was gonna say, are you ancient or something!? That's a hell of a good price for a ZX7R. I am looking forward to being old and insuring stupidly quick bikes for nothing
