Wanted - Information on 400 import insurance

Post by CBR Sam »

A mate of mine has just passed his bike test 33Bhp, (well done Age!! 8) )

I have offered him the loan of my XJR 400, i've got restrictors (somewhere!!!) but i think he is finding it hard to get a reasonable insurance quote as this will be his first "big" bike!!!!

Does anyone know a good company who will insure a 19year old on a 400 import.

Your help would be much appreciated!!!

I think insurance just varies like hell for different people but since i started riding at 16 to present i've only used 2 companies

Bennetts and Carole Nash

both seem to b pretty good to me and i've always had high premiums as my license has never been very clean.

Word of warning tho Carole Nash only let you pay in either one big payment or 4 installments so you can't spread the cost over a year.
so it turns out.........sometime i do give a f*ck

The Import part doesnt seem to matter anymore, Certainly on NC30's anyway. It used to make a £300 difference but now it's like £10 or so.

Hunt around, When I was looking I searched the big forums for lists of insurers and phoned every single one, When they asked what my lowest quote was I told them a price which I considered to be low (or atleast £200 cheaper than your cheapest quote, in my case anyway) most of them wouldnt touch it or go lower but I found one that undercut my made up price by £50 (Which was £250 cheaper than my prev lowest :) ) so I went with them. This was a copany called Cofield btw

Bikesure were pretty good, and so long as he's got a yr's NCB or more behind him it shouldn't sting too much, if its more than £300 TP only then I'd be shocked!

Just flick open the yellow pages or biketrader and look for the smaller companies, the smaller ads. I find they give the best quotes, rather than the huge companies. I'm 17 riding ZXR400L, and paying £450, 1 years no claims, should go down alot more this year, when I have 2 years no claims.

When i took out the insurance in february i was 21 only just passed my test and had no NCB and i dont have an alram that knocks the insurance down either. I just told them another insurance company gave me a quote for about 275 which i was telling a little white lie but at least i got my insurance cheap, my excess is £250 aswell
