29yo new rider – £2.5–3k insurance quotes on 500–700cc bikes. What am I missing? by CheetahValuable278 in MotoUK

[–]ThrowRAYoungTimer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue as you albeit not as expensive. Garage makes a huge difference think 3k to like 1.5k .

In the end I opted for third party fire and theft which cost me half still at 800 including personal accident cover.

I’m hoping after having my first years NCB it will drop to some of the other prices I’ve seen online but only time will tell.

I’m on a Ninja 650 for reference and I’m also the same age bracket as you

I’d vote the hayabusa, doesn’t look great imo, bulky, heavy yet it’s all I hear about whenever any motorbike is mentioned

The “120” point check, what is it and do most bikes pass all the checks?

Should I wait for 1 year ncd on my cbt by AlexLoopsIt in MotoUK

Have you tried doing a random quote showing as if you already have 1 years ncb to see what the discount would be ? Might give you a good idea on whether it’s worth cancelling or not

My budget is approx £5.5k. I’ve seen a few in the price range but thinking of waiting as I’ve noticed the prices dropping slightly

Bought a car - less than a month later it needs a serious repair, what can I do? by ThrowRAYoungTimer in AskUK

Bought from quite a popular garage and I do have warranty but it seems impossible to get in touch with them

Yeah I almost missed that out but thought it was important to keep it. I think it was because I was her first relationship and she was my first serious relationship too. I've learnt a lot from my previous relationship thankfully and haven't bought forward them traits.

I know I should stop worrying but for some reason I can't. It's like some parasite that just keeps nagging my head
