Insurance Dilemma

[techsnap]

Hoping for some tips here to try and avoid getting screwed over too badly with an upcoming insurance 'situation'.

Currently have a 125 Varadero which I'm insured on and riding under CBT. Insurance renewal is due on 12th June. I'm taking Mod 2 test on 22nd June.

So, assuming I pass, I will have to make an amendment to my new policy (ie changing to having a full A licence) 10 days after it started.

Follow that up also with the likelihood that if I pass, I will probably be changing to a 'big bike' before the end of July, so that would be another amendment so if I'm not careful I'm likely to drop £60-80 in amendment fees in the space of a month, not to mention premium increases.

Not sure what to do!

Don't want to SORN and not renew the Vara insurance as I may want it to be insured for taking to dealers to trade-in/private test rides etc.

Any suggestions? Or even tips on insurers that don't rip you off for policy amendment fees and are likely to be happy to change a policy from a 125 to, say, a 650 without problem.

Of course, I might f*ck up Mod 2 and sidestep the whole problem anyway, but lets not be negative!

Cheers

it's possible the underwriter of your 125cc policy specialises in 125cc bikes and you'll end up cancelling the policy and starting a new one for the bigger bike.

Bikesure made a note that I'd passed my tests and informed them but didn't' alter the policy as it would have cost me a couple of hundred £!

Iirc you have 14 days to back out without incurring any fees, so worst comes to worth you should have an out.

Don't buy the cheapest annual policy, buy the policy that's cheapest for the period you need it for. That is to say the one with the lowest cancellation fees.
