Hi guys,

I've just today bought my new Nc30 Repsol colours :D

I'm 18 and am struggling to find anywhere that will insure me so i was wondering if you guys could point me in the right direction.

Here is the bike :D

Hi there,
Who have you tried?
I'm 21 and I recently found that Swinton gave me the best price. I was with MCE the year before.
Good luck.
Nice bike by the way.

Bad news. You may have to start ringing up instead of trying for quotes online.

Phone round some proper motorcycle insurers, they will be better than generic ones that insure for everything like Swinton etc. Most can be found in MCN or bike magazines.
I use Bikesure and I have been with them for years. Last year I phoned round, got a few quotes and then got them to beat it, saves messing round with paperwork etc.

I alway's found getting on the phone to be the best option, use the online compare company's for a ball park figure and go from there..

Also im sure ringing them at the end of the month when they are chasing there targets sometimes gets you a good deal..

Ive found Bike Sure AKA Adrian Flux to offer decent prices for younger riders also MCE are going a bit ape shite with trying to beat everyones quotes, just get ready for endless sales calls from them if you take out a policy..

Also you sometimes get lucky with the small independant agents I remember years ago I wanted a ZX6, I would have been about 18 and couldnt even get a quote off anyone.. Anyway called a company in the back of Gay biker news and got a stupid quote of like 500 quid my GSXR400 at the time had cost me 590 to insure for 12 months..... :o
