R3 Insurance.

As a matter of interest, ((If you don’t mind?) what does it cost (Know it’s subjective) to insure a R3?
About 6 months ago I tried to buy an R3 Roadster (We couldn’t get close enough on price) so I googled for insurance...the cheapest quote I received was £414 for TPFT. Which I though reasonable. Me being 76 and only back to bikes for a few months after 25+ year layoff.
At that time I was paying £114 TPFT for a Honda Shadow 750.
Now paying £129 TPFT for 2019 Meister Ditch Pump.

Thanks, Joe,
Will deff. shop around next time.

Will take this opportunity to thank you for the Christmas Greetings and also wish all members of this wonderful forum a Very good Christmas (Hope there’s some stockings with R3s in.) and a Healthy and happy 2020.
Thanking you,Ken.

 

That is cruel!

978.22 TPFT. That with Triumph. My current insurer was one of 34 that didn’t quote.
Gettin’ old sucks even more when you want to ride a m cycle!
Discrimination, that’s what I say.

 

Hi Wessa,
Only recently started biking again after 25 years away, so NCB will only be 2 years when my renewal is due.
Rode bikes continuous for near 35 years previously without a single insurance claim.
Cheers,Ken.
PS. That’s not to say accident free.

 

Someone did tell me you tend not to ride as fast as you get older...don’t know about that, but, do know the ball are not quite as big!

Have a friend who drives his wife’s disability car and he will have to start from square one if anything happens where they have to give the car back, and, as he’s 80 now it might be difficult to even get insured in his own right.
He still has his motorcycle insured. He rides a Kwaka Vulcan 650.
Cheers,Ken.

 

Will put that to him, IF need be.
Thanks littleade.
Ken.
