bruno22rf Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Sold my Duke 996 just over 3 years ago but now, after meeting an old chum who's mad on biking, I've got the bug again. Languishing in the back of my shed is a 1998 XV1100 Virago that I bought in 2014, rode a couple of times, before spraying with WD40 and forgetting about her - to cut a long story short I have dragged her out, had her serviced and repaired (Tank full of rust, Mice in the Air Filter, Mice eaten some of the wiring and a dead battery) and begun to put her back on the road - here's the bit I'm struggling with.....last time she was Insured I had 9 years no claims so was expecting a bit of a hike - was £96 comprehensive in 2016.......4 years later with no no claims the price is £74!!!

bruno22rf Posted January 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Carole Nash - but it's not all good news as they took payment twice and their customer service centre seems to be in Calcutta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Galore! Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 I don't know what happened with mine then, just traded a vfr in , the insurance wouldn't quote me for a Honda Africa twin, but would for a ktm which was more expensiver, has more power and more prone to theft. still stuffed me on the mid policy change, I still can't walk straight. i'm 48 and a half years old now and I thought this was supposed to get cheaper?

fat_jay Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 I have only had my bike licence a couple of years, and my sv650 only cost £50 a year to insure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powler Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 I thought most insurance NCB would be invalid if you had a few years break in insurance? New FJR1300 £590 comp, NCB not accepted as I had not insured the last bike (ZX9)for over 2 years. Hopefully this year a lot cheaper.
