Bike insurance

Hey all,


I'm trying to get insured on a brand new vespa but I'm avast at the price. I have quotes for over 1000


I'm 46, live in london, I've had my bike license since 2002 but not ridden since 2008. I'm going to have a factory alarm, tracker, disc locks and a chain but it doesn't bring the quote down. I have no bike NCB but have full on a car with no points or convictions. The bike is stored in a locked compound away from public.


What can I do to get the quote down. Do I need to ring the companies direct? Cover the bike.


Cheers Mark

Insurance in London is high due to theft. If you can get a garage to keep the bike in that will be better. Some bikes are more prone to theft than others with scooter theft particularly high.


Try Bikesure directly. I have both mine with them and they've been better than anyone else so far. But don't expect a miracle. London is a no go area for bike insurance.


The days when companies allowed you some discount if you have NCB on other vehicles passed a long time ago.


To be honest if you need two wheels you'd be better buying a cheap hack and going for basic third party insurance.
