Want a laugh about Insurance?

Try this if you have 5 minutes. go to http://www.ebikeinsurance.co.uk/ and get an online quote. See how much cheaper insurance is in england. Mine was £240 for fully comp, fire and theft compared with €1300 here without fire and theft which they wouldn't quote me for here!
Put in the same details you gave Aon/CN to get an accurate reading, if you need a postcode, do a google search for a place and a postcode should turn up. I used one in Swindon, not sure if it mades a massive difference, I live in Ashbourne, Co Meath

170 sterling for me on an ER5, as opposed to about 1040 euro with aon.

It's sickening! I paid well over 10 grand in insurance without a claim

Part of the explanation may be that personal injury compensation awards are much, much higher here - often several times that of a comparable injury in the UK.

Agreed! I pay twice as much in Dublin as what I paid in Belfast

£613 on a Honda Varadero 125 (around €885) Fully comp

Last year I paid €1150 TPO on the same bike...

Best thing about that site is that you can pay monthly. I was in London last summer and brought a bike with me. Paid £63 a month and then could cancel after the summer. Dead handy.

I pay E1200 for my Kawasaki W650 here and when I was in Germany last year I got a quote for E120 !!! and then I heard when I got back here that 120 is about adverage for a bike like that in other European countries.

I think the word "shafted" springs to mind. :mad:

Chunkylover

€153 for a gt650 on a provisional, am paying about €950 at the moment

If I'm living in Swindon, ahem.....148 euro for 2 vespa px200's TPO with my full license as opposed to 450 from AON. It would be 265 euro for comprehensive cover on the same bikes...bah!!

£222.60, fully comp, for a BMW R1150GS in Bristol. Slightly different to the ~€1100 I'm currently paying to Carole Nash. Sigh.....

My german mate just got a bike, some 650 suzuki trailie as his first bike. €90 a year for insurance! He said even if he got an R1 it wouldn't cost much more, they way the insurance companies see it is that a bike can't cost much damage to any vehicle, so cheap premiums. Obviously it's only 3rd party.

Just got a quote from AON. €812 FC or €345 TPO. 44yo, full licence, full ncb, kildare. Blackbird. Only marginally more than last year with Hibernian. Not bad!!
