DaveK Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I've had motorcycles continously from the age of 16 until the beginning of last year (when I was 36). I sold my R1 then because with 2 cars, I was never using it. I had sports bikes from quite young (GSXR750 when I was about 19) so paid huge insurance for many years. I just got a quote for a VFR800 - and at my age, it's..... £95. Or £20 more if I want to protect my NCD. I love being old! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean, my first 750 cost me £500 to insure in 1980!! Now sell the VFR, by a GSXR and come and do a few track days:d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now sell the VFR, by a GSXR and come and do a few track days:d I don't own it yet! Going to look at one tomorrow. I'm not really that keen on balls out sports bikes these days - even for a track. Having had GSXRs, FireBlade, R1 etc. for about 15 years in total I just want something a little more practical that I can use occasionally if the sun is shining. I just hope I do actually use it. I sold the R1 because I hardly ever did but I miss having a bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too dangerous for me (or I'm to dangerous for it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henk Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 So have to agree with this thread, before I sold it in January, the insurance on my CBR 1100 Blackbird fully comp protected was only £130 (only 36 at the time) Then again my insurance on the TT is only £480 which I think is very reasonable (was even lower before I declared BPU) I paid £1400+ fully comp for my CBR600 back when I was at Uni (ouch!)
