Insurance shocker

[Jaws]

Should really be surprised but..
Just changed the insurance from a BMW R1200 GS LC ( value £11k ) to a 500 3 wheeled scoot ( value £8k ) An EXTRA £139 !
And warned the yearly premium will rise to more than £200
My Blackbird with declared mods is £96 a year..
Where DO they get their figures from!!!! ?

You’re ignoring the fact that no one wants to nick a GS (?) and it’s a well known fact that scrotes nick scooters to get up to nefarious activities. ?

PS - no one has nicked my GS (A), yet! ?

Phew... I have 5 Bikes insured with Peter James, £225 that's unlimited milage with full uk and European recovery, BMW K75, Kawasaki W800 and a W650, Honda CX500 and a 1954 Redditch built Royal Enfield 350cc Bullet.

Pays to shop around.

Honda Blackbird, Sym 125 Scoot, 1200 GS all the same policy cost me About £150. How the hell they can rate a 500 three wheeled scoot with 44 whole BH as more of a risk is just baffling

Possibly even a minor prang can do ££££££££ of damage to something so complex.

And, since car drivers can ride them they may have had horrendous experience of them.

And you think repairing an £18 grand BMW is cheap ? !!!!

 

[A S R]

I reckon they’ve looked into replacing 2 front wheels instead of one. And 2 sets of forks!

I thought Ewan and Charlie machines were indestructible.

Apart from the breaking subframe, the braking system that failed.. and they were completely different bikes !

Cos off road type bikes are the most stolen percentage wise. Far higher than even scoots
