Strangely cheap bike to insure

[rhys1005]

Was just doing some random quotes on litre bikes to see what sort of bike I will be able to insure in two years time.

I noticed that the bikes have sub category's such as sports bike, sport tourer, cruiser etc.

Most quotes were coming up to about £2000, one for an R6 was £6000! but I ran a quote for a ktm superduke 990 through compare the market and as it was classed as a 'tourer' it come up as £140.. My thundercat is £540!!!

Anyone else experience similar? Surley someone hasn't done their research properly.. A 1litre KTM naked isn't my idea of a touring bike..

Aprilia Falco, TL1000R/S.

Both of those are cheap cheap cheap

drz's are cheap as feck for me (£115), a lot cheaper than the old man KLE 500 (£220). My old KTM 525 was very cheap as well (£120), the 690 was definitely not at £550.

Got quotes of £220 for an '02 ZZR1200.

My CR125 costs more than double that - and then pushing a grand if I want theft cover too

600 Bandit, within a few miles of a city centre, quoted as £116 FC for renewal this year... and that's without even comparing anywhere else yet

I had a nice surprise too, getting quotes about 800-2000+ for 600 sports bikes. Thought for a giggle I'd get a quote on a K6 750 Gixxer, 2 Years NCD £300 at 21 years of age. Safe to say I know what I'm buying next year!

[Clutchy]

Just did a quote on the SV and it came back at £190 and I'm 19


Beats my £1,800 car insurance
