I just wish this would also apply to age :-/ I'm still under 25 so have to pay a premium on my insurance because of it - this is despite the fact that I have no points, no claims and 7 years NCB, better than some drivers twice my age!Originally Posted by lunalupi
Ash, you'll have to grit your teeth and get through the first year - take it easy and make sure you get your NCB as that makes a big difference. I noticed too that insurance tended to be higher for a restricted bike - some companies class it as a modification and charge accordingly!
I ended up with a broker in Scotland who only charge me £150 for my CBR600 Third Party only, so you will find decent insurance in the end.[/quote]
It will come. Why should a 24 year old who rides/drives with care and with 7 years no claims pay so much more for insurance than a 25 year old with the same? Blatant age discrimination in my view.
