Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

i made a few calls today to insurance companys and i found that the cheapest on was NRMA insurance for my zzr600 comprehensive insurance was 574 bucks including a free windscreen i asked shannons but they wouldnt even give me the time of day because i had not had bike insurance before and was not a member of any bike clubs so for any one wanting insurance try NRMA.

very strange - for my zzr600 they wanted $2000 with a maximum NCB, for the ZX9R they wanted $2500
I would've said don't go near NRMA with a barge pole.
I'm with Swann - $810

I guess it varies by state. I'm with Ty as far as NRMA goes. IN NSW they're ridiculous.

Ridiculous...

I'm with Shannons

Whenever I get quotes from NRMA they are so far out of the ballpark from most other insurers.

Try Swann or QBE

Best you join a club and get yourself a discount

u are a member of the ksrc

what more could u ask 4?

Got my renewal from Shannons today.
It was about $670 to insure my zx10r last year, 2 months after I took out the policy, down we went..
I was expecting a massive rise this time round, but it only went up $200...
I'll stick with em, especially as the claim was trouble free..

i did say i was a member here but they said that doesnt count he was a bloody wanker anyway i must just be cheap here in tassie (gods country)

QBE and swann quoted me about 700 buck both were within 20 bucks of one another

i found nrma second cheapest for my gpx...about $500 a year (under 25 ). Cheapest was AAMI at around $300 a year but no pay by the month. NRMA changes to jsut over $200 when I turn 25 (2 months). Insurance for a zzr600 is around $550 when I turn 25 or for a zzr1100 $650.

MRA members get 5% discount
AND 14 months for the price of 12 qith QBE

Worse the $35 pn it's own.
That as we have 52 discounters

i have a list of insuance companies at work that u can try for quotes, will post it up in the morning.

but i was quoted on my ZZR600 full comprehensive $430 - with Western QBE!! per year, but im 25yrs old.

main things that affect the price is the postcode and where its garaged.. along with the standard NCB, claims history and traffic offences..

I also found a cruiser is cheaper to insure of a sportsbike.
plus varying factors
age,sex,postcode,licence details, traffic offences, insurance history,mods on the bike, where it will be kept the list is endless.

Being over the age of 28 helps a great deal.

yeah thats true.. but also - depends on the person ur dealing with as well on the phone ( a total noob in training or a grumpy old man)
(working as an insurance broker) i'd strongly suggest u go with a direct insurance company that specialises in insuring bikes too (and plus u want to avoid paying the broker fee and commissions too) .. direct insurers - like Arista and Western QBE - have policies made for riders - covering ur riding gear etc.
