motorcycle insurance

I am a male young(ish) newly qualified rider looking to insure a CBR.

Any recommendations?

Thanks all!!

Just did a price comparison on 'confused.com' for my wife's bike, she's been riding just over a year and has an Yamaha R6.
Surprisingly the cheapest quote was �79 from the AA as opposed to a renewal of �186 from Bennetts.

As with anything it's worth shopping around, an hour or so on line could save you hundreds.

I would start with Confused.com then try google for 'bike insurance' and go to some of the more spcialist companies (Bennetts, The Bike Insurer, Ebike etc.)

Good Luck.

Safe Riding.

It depends on the age/value of your bike but it may be worth considering TPF&T as opposed to Full Comp. the only difference is that you won't be covered for any damage you do if you drop it.

But you have to weigh up the value of the bike, the amount of excess you have to pay and the likley cost of and repairs.

The cost of a set of crash bungs and replacement levers and foot pegs may save you a fortune in insurance premiums.

You should also notice a big reduction in premiums after your first year of claim free riding.

Good Luck
