Na mate. It goes engine capacity and the range that both my zrx and his bird are in are in the highest greenslip pricing.
I think you will find the ZX14 is dearer on green slips

225cc or less
226cc to 725cc
726cc to 1125cc
1126cc to 1325cc
greater than 1325cc
I thought that the insurance costs were based on the risk ? And the 726 - 1125cc category has the most prangs and thus the highest risk - and highest green-slip costs ? I am 100% sure they did a story in AMCN within the last couple of years about this, and the fact that >1325cc category - although being the largest cc category actually represented a lesser degree of risk for insurers - mainly because most big cruisers are in this category and the accident rates are much less than the 750/1000cc racer boys ??

The 726 to 1125 range is still cheaper than the next. I think I have read somewhere it is due to alot of the mid life crisis guys grab a big Harley or cruiser type and take their wives/girlfriends/partners on rides and they are the ones that have the accidents and the greenslip covers the pillion so that's why that range is the most expensive. Don't quote me on that though as I can't remember where I saw it.
