Title: Insurance Pain
Post by: Shogun_RR on May 16, 2014, 10:19:21 AM
So I recently bought a 2014 ZX10R  :grin:

Now last year I remember doing a few quotes and them not coming back as anything to scary so I just went and bought the bike as i've been thinking of getting one since they were first announced.

So I went home and started searching for the best quotes....wow most companies straight up refused to insure me. 32 years license for 5 years 5 years no claims but I live in East London and I although its parked in a private drive I don't have a garage.

In the end the best i've seen is 3rd Part Fire & Theft @ £1672 from Bennets. Not great but I don't really have much choice... :angry:

Anyway now I have to wait 2 whole months as just as I bought it I got a job in Germany for a couple of months. So it is still in the dealership as I go through deep longing pains of wanting to  :moto:  :cry:

Can't fucking wait!

I considered that, but due to the risk of theft I don't want the hassle I'll just have to bite down and bend over.  :embarrassed:

I guess telling you mine is £144 FC for an S1000rr isn't going to help? There's no way I'd pay that much insurance, f@ck that.

Good luck getting a payout should the worst happen. I'm sure they'll only be too happy to send that cheque out.

+1

Mine is £300 FC for the R1 and that's about as much as I can justify paying.......cause I'm a tight bastard.

Lie

it's not a great idea to lie to an insurance company, nor to advise someone to do it on an open forum love.

It might be a white lie our just a lie. The insurance company won't need a second invitation to not pay out. Your choice.

I think that is quite possibly the worst bit of advice I've seen given on here! All very well telling him that but you neglect to tell him you own the other property!

Lie to an insurance company and get found out, not only would your insurance be void, any claim would not be met and the chances of you getting insurance for the foreseeable future are just about zero
