Well, I just rang them with a hypothetical VFR800 to see how much it was gonna cost me to upgrade my current policy (runs out end of May) before fucking off to H&R or someone nice.

Apparently, even though my policy is actually underwritten by Honda, they wont upgrade it cos is only covers groups 1-15 and the VFR is outside that (what the fuck? I thought it was a 14 or a 15 at most).

So... unless i cancel my policy and start again, putting me back to 2 years NCB again* I cant change my bike. And I'm not prepared to do that, so I'm just gonna stick where I am until May Smile

Not that big a deal... stick with ol' faithful while the weather's still iffy, then plenty time to find a mint one in time for the proper summer. But if you're thinking of using Bennetts you might wanna ask them about this *before* you sign up if you're gonna get on the upgrade path.


* I had my scooter insurance with Bennetts and the same thing happened - dropped 6 months NCB cos I couldnt upgrade. Made more sense that time, scoot policy to bike policy, fair enough.

yeh VFR800 should be group 14-15. With them my VFR4 is only group 10, and group 16+ is really heading into blade territory.
cheeky company. altho i've never had any trouble with them.

Different underwriters class bikes in different groups apparently. The beauty of this one is..... it's actually Honda insurance Rolling Eyes

Maybe they are just trying to protect you from the looks of the new VFR Laughing

It does sound a bit crazy, and a VFR is hardly the quickest bike that Honda make. It isnt an age thing is it?

All the best

All the best
