im paying about $2800 premium for my 09 zx6r :/

plus about a $2500 excess /cry

could it be that the 09 has extra safety/security features.

also, statistically, the 09 wouldnt have been crashed as often as an 07, but that shouldnt count

the 07 model, had been out for a bit, people had crashed them and they's paid claims etc.
so it may have been considered high risk.

the 09, being only new, they cant go out and say its high risk without data.
maybe it will go up next year when a few people make claims?

my old man bought a isuzu dmax ute. when he insured it, it wasnt on their system yet. so he got it insured real cheap, because it didnt have a rating yet. the second year it went up.

Fook me!

The Hornet was brand new when I got it, and not worth as much as a 09 ZX-6R even then, but I pay less than $400/year.

I'm guessing this is because it has less plastic, I'm an old bastard and it's a Honda.

05 Z750 .....40 Year old rider $377 fully comp agreed value 8K
05 ZX6R.....40 Year old rider $692 fully comp agreed value 10K

old bastards can be cruel

rubbin it in

its got to do with the "R" in the specs

"R" for rubbed

I pay $1032 for the ZRX @ 21 years with maximum no claim and no licence losses.

The cheapest quote for full comp on the R6 (2000 model, $7k value) was $3200 - f@%* that!

yeah. WQBE wanted like $6000 to insure me...

NRMA turned out to be the cheapest. mind you, I have a pretty poor driving record, licence suspended etc, so its not a real surprise.

only reason I have the full comp now is to satisfy the bank that fronted me cash to buy the thing. Just in case it gets written off or something...

Who are you using Disco?

I went thru Kawasaki Insurance and it's costing me $987 full comp
