Hi All,

So I've given some major consideration to getting my full bike licence as i've been driving for 7 years now & 2 wheels appeals!

Worked out costs of a bike, servicing, safety equipment, alarm etc.. , not an issue on it's own. But the bike in question would be an R6 , am i ever going to get an insurance quote under £2k at 26 with no riding experience or am i going to have to settle for running a policy on something smaller/lower specced for a year or two?

Any advice welcome!

I was 46 had past my DAS an hour & 5 minutes & they charged me 138 quid to insure a ZX7R. :p

Just over a year later I now pay 120'ish quid a year for my VFR750F. :cool:

Once you have your bike & your gear running a bike costs nowt compared to a car.
 
My insurance for a 2000 R6 at 19 with 2 years on a 125 was about £500, I see no reason why yours should be near £1k let alone £2k. The newer R6's are slightly more expensive than the older ones, but at 26 I'd have thought your insurance should be reasonable

In any case, why not just fetch a few quotes from gocompare places and co to get yourself an idea?
 
Tried a comparison through the MCN site, that's where the shocking quote came from :-(

Having tried a couple more, sounds like nobody is interested unless i have NCB or garage it...even restricting to Social use only and for 3000 miles...

Any companies people would recommend?

And there's the problem, by all means shop around, but your location is shafting you, my advice, as much as you want an R6, ignore it & buy some disposable nail, wrack up the NCB, and try again at a later date.

Or just plain accept the fact that due to age, lack of experience & above all location, your going to be bent over by the insurance companies for the foreseeable future. :(
