cheekymonkey Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I've had my motorbike license for all of 1 week, Just for a laugh I got a quote to insure myself on my brother's monster of a Blackbird (1100cc) and it came to... £170 for the year! Can only imagine they want me to hurry up and kill myself already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexsum Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 i've recently moved to two wheels and the price differences are amazing. i'm still on L plates, a 125 Vespa, tax is £15, insurance £88, tank of petrol £8 (will do 200 miles on that) all filters, drive belt, spark plug etc for a service £40. no cost to park in town and even this small engine scooter is faster to 30mph than nearly all sports cars. bad point (and i accept it is a big one) - if only the weather was not so shitty!!

This was for third party only, fully comp was £400 I think, and on a 2 grand bike I'll just take the risk myself. £240 for a hayabusa too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
