    Hi all,

    I had a question about a bike I'm buying today (width of panniers on bike) and a google brought me here, albeit with the question still unanswered;)

    Getting a sprint Gt today in cranberry red and hoping this forum will be a fount of knowledge and hopefully I may be also be able to contribute positively.

    Current ride is an 06 fazer 600 which I've had for 10 years and will be hard to let go of, so I may be looking for multi bike insurance;) if anyone has any recommendations I'd be grateful.

    Thanks and looking forward to the ride.

    Bob.

    Hi Bob

    I use Bennetts multi bike to insure mine..... speed triple rs, street triple 675 and a 900 thunderbird, cost me £310 fully comp.

    Good luck with your new purchase.

    Regards

    Pete

    Hi Bob, and welcome in :cool::cool: I've got Carole Nash for my two, differs for each person so worth a few annoying calls, Bennetts was way over the odds for me ;);)

    Hi and welcome, good luck with your insurance. I was with Bennetts last year £263 for my speedmaster and thunderbird LT, renewed with Hastings Direct for £245 this year. You will find the insurance companies will give you a reasonable first year quote and then load in in year two. I would suggest you get your best quote this year and expect to shop around for your renewal next year....
