Tell him to sort out his own insurance. There are five insurers in
the Irish market. Liberty, Carole Nash, Principal, AXA, MCE.

Try them all.

Hadn't insured a bike in years...most places no quote on gsxr k3 1000...except MCE... Just started my 3rd year with them 270 tpft 43 yr old..is this good?.

[Lightening Mcsheen]

30 years old, on a CB1000r, liberty wanted 997€ TPFT, rang Carol Nash and did the usual, and got it for 577€ Fully comp...
Chuffed. Full license and 1 years NCB.

Considerably older than you!!!

Blackbird
FJR1300
Pan
Bandit

about 700 years NCD... Comprehensive cover with euro breakdown cover and NCD protection

€245



Sometimes it's great being an auld cúnt!

[frozen]

Going to renew with principal got them to knock a little off the offer that came

23 years old
282 euro
sv650s 2003
on full A2 license
2 years no claims bonus
third party fire and theft

I asked could I add a gsxr 750 mid policy (getting the A license in september) and she said they wouldn't insure me on that until I was 25. Sound of her to go and check and let me know now instead of when I try to add it. She said to try MCE if I wanted to insure something along those lines of the gsxr.

[frozen]

principle upped there broker fee to 60 from 30 in the last few weeks
just renewed the policy and change of bike 239.98, they wanted 280 talked them down
10 years ncb protected, fully comp, legal etc

if you ask for a no carrying pillion discount it knows a fair bit off the quote just dont carry any pillions

[frozen]

I will try that thanks, I never carry pillion and don't want to. And I definitely have pillion cover already because it is on my policy document from last year

she said she was giving me 25 euro broker fee, probably as low as they can go now

[ruane]

39 full bonus
around €350

husky te300
beta 300rr
cub90

[Redrocks]

€300 TPF&T with CN
42yr
97 GL1500
09 F800GS
Excess €200

They wanted €378 initially. Principal were €350 with excess of €400 on Full Comp.

Rang CN and they got it to €300 which is reasonable I suppose...

CN 320
I didn't bother with the other ones, happy enough with Principal

Again, cage is up a few days before the bike, last year was 600, this year is 1800, fuck that! Only did 2,500 km on the car last year and about 24,000 on the bikes. Makes zero sense.

Boom! Principal €220 again for the Fazer! Extra €50 for helmet, gear and personal injury/loss of sight. New lid was €500 so why not, not pulling the trigger on it yet, gotta wait til payday
AXA were bonkers again, wanted about €650. Didn't bother with Nash, Liberty or MCE this year, they were nowhere near the races last 2 years, and I'm happy out with Principal.



On a side note cage is cheaper this year than last year for the first time in about 10 years... Really hate having them both due the same week, but this year ain't so bad.

[aido43]

Happy with Carole Nash again this year--premium dropped 20eu--age:58 Comp--360Euro. Customer service great

[nednedned]

this was the cheapest year so far with nash. 264 for the two b6`s

22 years old,

Provisional A2 (a month),

Trying to put first bike on the road (cage since 17, no claims, not that it helps from the insurer's perspective).

Have called around Axa, MCE, Carole Nash, Principle asking about the likes of a Bandit 600, Honda CBF 500, Susuki GS 500E..

They're all quoting mad money between 1100-2500 for third party only, was afraid to even ask about fully comp. Principal in fairness gave me a quote for 885 if it was shed stored.


Liberty appear to quote me 864 regardless of the bike I put into the online yoke, anyone know would I get it lower by calling them?

And while I'm here... restricting the likes of a Bandit 600 for A2 to then use it for the A progressive and beyond, is that me being stupid or is it a possibility?

Thanks for any replies.

Do the liberty assessment too get a decent discount

[Confusion]

Two bikes. TPFT. Carole Nash €239. Full licence. Full NCD.

I had to fight hard to keep the price down to the same as last
year. Principal couldn't do better than €261 for the same level
of cover. I didn't bother calling Axa this year. Liberty don't
do multi-bike and MCE still don't have a proper phone number....

That's a tricky combination. Old enough to ride a big bike,
but not enough experience to get a decent quote for
insurance.

Claim-free history is always good. Although I started with zero years
as a born-again in 2012, CN gave me 10% off because I had a
long history of no claims for other classes of vehicle.

As JP mentioned, Liberty will often give a very substantial discount
if you have a recent riding assessment.

And while I'm here... restricting the likes of a Bandit 600 for A2 to then use it for the A progressive and beyond, is that me being stupid or is it a possibility?

It certainly is a possibility. If you can get insured on a restricted Bandit 600 or 650,
you will have a much easier upgrade to category A in a couple of years.

If you buy a Bandit that was restricted by the usual method of replacing
the plastic carb tops, ask the seller for the original unrestricted tops.
This will allow you to remove the restriction at little or no cost
when you want to upgrade to A.
