Been ringing around today for the new bike and thought it might interest some as the subject has raise itself before: I tried the main culprits and had surprisingly different prices from 2 of the main laid up / classic insurers - others falling somewhere in between but no where near the best quote below. 1098R Troy Bayliss with all mods listed to it's current race bike specification. Valued at £14500 (what I paid but will up it next year to a more realistic level) Kept in the House or Log Cabin Garage - both Secure and Alarmed. Adrian Flux: £400 with £1000 Excess (No cover while away from the house - needs Sold Secure Locks also) Footman James: £123 with £100 Excess (Full cover while away from the house - at show's / away for work & or service etc no additional locks required) Might be of use to some, very happy with the deal from FJ Amendment to the above post : I have just spend a few weeks comparing the market having put together a detailed Power Point showing my extensive security. Note: none of the bikes have trackers or alarms fitted and none are shackled to the floor. They are kept either in a Log Cabin Garage (insurer listed as such and not a shed like Creamies) or in the bike room in the house. Cover is Fire / Theft / Malicious and Accidental Damage including transit to shows / workshops etc and agreed value totaling £105,000. Big thanks to Footman James and Be Moto for spending the time to quote and both coming up with equally competitive quotes: £760 and £765 respectively. This was for the following: 999R 999R Fila 1098R 1098R Bayliss 996R ZXR750K1 limited homologation bike GSX-R750LE limited homologation bike I went with Footman James as there quote had lower excess between £50 and £200 where Be Moto were at £500 for each bike. Anyone needing laid up insurance give both these a try - couldn't find anyone else anywhere near...
Stu,,Excellent very helpful,once again insurance is a lottery for the person/post code/bike/value,,,it pays to shop around every year and dont except the first quote you receive!
can we make an official ranking and top 10 list or so on the forum , if members get quotes, fill in and might make it easier to see who ( in general ) provides the best quotes?
Underwritten by a Yorkshireman (Adopted) Check the small print on paying out in the event of a claim.
that's an excellent idea, but to keep it fair, ( he is so wealthy that he likes to keep the rates really low for all his followers) you can only insure a maximum of 10 bikes through El T Ducati insurance Ltd, so that is a bit of a problem for you @Exige , you need to find alternatives for the other 138 bikes lol
Back on track for a sec Footman James just sent my renewal for my '72 Honda St70 Up from £75 to £94 It is modified and they are declared Exige I will be servicing shortly when I change the air filter I will see if there's any 1098r's in there this year you can have the bits
