R6 Insurance

[ruffryder]

Hi, I am 24 years old from Birmingham

These are my quotes from bennetts

SV650SK4 - £170
GSXR600 K1 - £768
CBR600 RR - £890
Yamaha R6 1999 - £261
Yamaha R6 2003 - £212

Looks like my next bike will be an R6 - Does anyone know what insurance groups these bikes are and why the R6 is cheap on insurance compared to the Gixxer and CBR600RR

Thanks

Ray

Dont know what insurance group they are, but ive been told the R6 is a little more "forgiving" (handling and acceleration wise) than the other two bike's maybe this has something to do with it?
Also have you tried MCE? They can usually beat bennets hands down....

thanks but the CBR600 and GSXR are both group 15aswell so it dont make sense - checking MCE now

It's down to value, age, cost of parts, etc.

Try H&R too.

Or Honda insurance for the CBR on 0870 078 0101

I got my 2001 R6 insured last september at 24 years old and passed in July so no NCB. TPFT £480 - got some quotes for £8-900 so worth shopping around!

Honda will always be expensive due to the parts.

The newer R6s are supposed to be a bit more forgiving.

I would say 99-02 they are definitely a fair bit sharper than the CBRs of the time and slightly than the ZX6.

Thanks everyone - the deal is done - i would of bought an R6 a long time ago if I'd of known. Are they as reliable as Hondas and are parts cheap - where does everyone get their R6 parts from???
