    Hello,
    Does anyone have a list of the Insurance Groupings for motorbikes in Ireland? AON quoted me €1058 Third Party for a Suzuki Intruder Classic 125cc. That's on a provisional and first bike aswell so it's not as bad as I thought. The bike above is Group 2 so I'm just wondering how the groups are calculated?

    Plus has anyone done motorbike lessons with ISM? Are they good? Any thoughts?

    Cheers,
    Will

    When I was looking it looked to be about +300e a group (though dont hold me to that, insurance quotes vary like the weather). They'll probably only quote you up to group 5 without some sort of assessment.

    Groups are calculated by a very precise mathematical formula known only to the insurance companies.

    It is rumoured to be based on the airpressure at the equator at the time of call.

    I seen a great quote over on www.biker.ie

    "Insurance companies are like prostitutes, they take your money and then f*ck you".

    I think that sums it up :D
