fark. i pay that much for the car.

[icebreaker]

Yeah arista have had their first insurance rate hike in 3 years (apparently) so all policies have gone up atleast 33%.

[zx6pac]

Yep, I rang Arista last week to enquire about their insurance hike.

The lady calmly informs me that ALL sportsbike premiums have risen approx. 40%. What a joke .....

The only way out now is to turn 40 years old, where premiums usually drop by half....... I told them I "feel" 40 years old but they wouldn't have a bar of that.

Hmmm, I guess Shannons will be getting a phone call from me come January.

Don't Shannon's have limits on the number of km's per year or something?
That's why I've never called them.

Just spoke to Shannons...

They only insure w/end use vehicles - so if you use it as transport everyday, then they don't wanna know ya.

They are cheaper than the others tho.

Got my new policy from Arista today.
Last year = $814
This year = $955

So, I rang Shannon's.
$598 and I can pay monthly.

Bye bye Arista.

Just be aware of the "recreational use" clause...

Shannons are a great company for motoring enthusiasts - and if their car policy is anything to go by then their bike policy will have some of the best benefits out there, including a right to take first option on the salvage which is handy for those of us who want the written off bike as a track toy or parts donor.

As long as your usage fits in with their requirements (very low k's and not your daily transport) then they are certainly a top option.

Unfortunately my best option is Suncorp.

Man I pay $1000 for my zx6R '06 (suncorp)

...me thinks I will call shannons
