yep , i can remember when i was 21 and being bent over a barrel for insurance. when i was 21 the best price i could get was thru Swann insurance and even then it was about $1500 for full comprehensive insurance on my honda cbr250rr about 17 years ago.


im 38, and again my insurance for the kwaka will be thru swann. tried a few others and swann is usually the cheapest.

full comprehensive on my 300 SE ABS is about $520 per year and if it gets smashed to bits/stolen it gets replaced

i dont get it, i have been riding road bikes for 17 years, never had a claim and my insurance for full comprehensive thru swann is about $520 per year or $43 per month.

who is your insurance thru Bryce and whats your excess if you claim?

I was quoted 4700 full comp (bad driving record)

are you under 25 years old as well??

thank god those days for me are long gone

I thought they bumped that up to 30, happened when i turned 25. Mofo's.

ah, well there ya go, live and learn. mind you its not really the insurance company fault. its the wannabe's who go and get a R1, have no idea how to ride, just twist the throttle and hold on for grim death, wipe themself out and give the rest of us a bad name/rep/ policy prices.

sadly , i fear it will only get worse over time

Nope I'm from louisiana. Just can't believe the difference in price. http://www.motorcycle.com/mobile

aaaahhhhh thats why it was cheap. its easy to understand the difference in price. we have about 20 million people here in Australia.quite a lot of them will not be paying insurance cos of their age , etc.

but in the usa theres a few hundred million more people to pay insurance then what we have, so more people to pay, cheaper the prices are.

aahhh haa! now i see what you guys did.
i have my ride insured for $9000 cos thats the total price i payed for it with my tradein of my suzuki gsx250f across with the extra $1000 worth of extras on it.that might explain why you guys are getting quotes cheaper then me.
anyhow, im not too overly stressed, $520 per year thru swann is pretty good. way better then the few grand per year i as paying in my younger days wheni had my cbr205rr thats for sure.
getting old sometimes has it advantages,lol

you do know that insure my ride insurance is thru suncorp dont you

did you guys insure your bike less on road costs by the looks of things?
