Swapped my 996 for a brand new S4R last year and gave the 996 to the wife (its a year 2000 biposto).
Last year I paid approx £400 fully comp for the 996.
Now its renewal time - and both me and the wife are with the same broker and underwriter.
I open my renewal and it is £480 fully comp!
She opens hers and its £300 fully comp!
So, how do you reckon that:
A. Its cheaper for a 29 year old woman with 7 years no claims to insure the same bike, by £100, than it was for a 33 year old man with 10 years NCB? Living at the same address.
B. How come my S4R is significantly more to insure than the 996???? I always thought that sports bikes were the higher risk? ? ? ? ?
To say that I am not best pleased would be a rather large understatement. . . . . . . .
