What is the best advanced biker course to do for insurance?

[GixxerSeth]

Hi there,

I have recently just passed my Mod 2 (Goodbye 'L' plates ) and I want to make the bike insurance a bit more bearable so what would be the best course to endure on?

Also, anymore tips on saving on bike insurance would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Seth

Can I direct you to this - ROSPA or IAM thread.

Rospa is harder, both to find someone to do the test with and the test itself. You also need to renew the qualification periodically. IAM is easier to find a club but they can be a bit cliquey.

Both Rospa and IAM should be recognised by insurance. The Rospa one IMO should give greater discount but as it is insurance you may as well toss a coin.

On some insurance sites they put the BikeSafe scheme as an advanced qualification option choice. Whether that gives you much of a discount I can't tell (it's insurance so IMO just a random number generator, you can get a different quote on a different day for the same info ).

You can maybe see about any local scheme close to you.

Hope this help to make it as clear as mud

You have biker skills, road craft and experience, theres fuck all these courses can tel me or many, but if your a noob as it were, maybe they help.

When you have the skills and perception of the dude, tis not needed.

You can let the insurance run its course - or transfer to a winter hack 500 - then get the bike you want in April -

Get a well maintained hack, buy lots of fuel and learn skills in poor weather - stand you in great sted over dropping a newer bike - wiser move mate.

Yes, transfer cover, get one years NCB in april - get nice bike for summer ..

From r125 to frapping the shit out of a 500 in winter, will be FUN.

Get one with decent tyres and crash bungs, wear your gear ..

Come summer when you have your new bike, you will be DEFO glad of what you did from now till then on a cb 500 - hornet etc ...

Well my dad said he was happy to share his bandit so I might get the 33 bhp restrictor for it?

[GixxerSeth]

And the Bandit can be added to my insurance atm?

Should be RoSPA Gold. Probably won't be though.

I can't recall ever seeing an option for advanced training on comparison websites, so you'll have to do a lot of clicking to find out.

What I can tell you is that eBike hilariously offered me the same tiny discount for RoSPA, IAM or (1 day!) BikeSafe. I didn't even bother listing BikeSafe (which I've done) since it's just one more thing for them to demand evidence of.
