I've got a b6 on a 99' and have just passed my test and got a price of £356 fully comp and £215 tp,f,t. So I dont think it bad. And im 31. Held my ticket for 36 days now and have not crashed yet!

i guess its not the hooligan image that bothers the insurance but the fact they dont get stolen as much as race reps.

suits me

Again, thats not bad when you think of age. My brother has a clapped out VW polo on an F reg, 1lt and he's 23, theye want £1300 for TPFT. Out of this world, where do they make up these prices, some dice they most have

I have been riding bikes for 10 years but had sometime without a one so i lost my no claims, i worked for Triumph motorcycles so was able to use company bikes.
After a while i decided to get a Bandit, big power for little money.
after ordering it i then checked out insurance. I had a rough idea it would be around £500 tpft with no no-claims bonus my first quote was from a company thats supposed to specialise in "born again bikers" they quoted £1100 tpft i nearly shit myself i thought the wifes not going to like this

Anyway cutting a long story short i got it down to about £520 with Carol Nash i was just about to agree with it when i saw an advert from Hastings Direct in MCN they quoted £350 so i went with them and have been with them now since owning the bike which is nearly 3 years.
I still shop round each year but nobody seems to be able to beat them.
Gonna start looking at the weekend.

By the way it's just my opinon but always phone for a quote dont take the online quote as they will always better it when you talk to them.

cheers

i always thought online quotes would be cheaper but bennetts quoted me £516 online and £280 by phone. i dont know how it can be so different.

glad i took the time to phone

Yeah I have to agree with the phoning for quotes, with bennets (again) I got quoted £580 tpft with a 94 bandit 400

, which I thought was a bit much (even though I had only passed my test a year ago and It's kept in a garage with an alarm)

Phoned them up and It suddenly changed to £360

That's rediculous!! No wonder they offer 10% discounts if you do it online!

Then again maybe that's just Bennets?

Billy,

Can you please do something about that avatar of yours.

How the heck do you expect us older guys to read your postings while those two are being massaged at 30mph?

BTW are the Lions in for a drubbing on their tour?

billythefish · « **Reply #12 on:** May 07, 2005, 01:20:13 PM »

sorry, didnt think how that avatar may effect the oldtimers harts.

as for the lions getting a pasting........ we'll see
