    Saw a similar thread in the motoring forum.

    What did you pay for your first time you took out screeds and what are you paying now?

    My first bike policy was £90 for 50cc riders policy, it then averaged out to £300 for the 500cc policy for about ten years and has not budged much since then.. Now paying just €320 to cover a Gizr 750 on a classic policy. :D.

    Think mine was roughly €800 fully comp for a factory restricted Bandit when I was 32.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,918 ✭✭✭Steffano2002


    I think mine was around €1,200 for TP with Caroline Nash on a Bandit 600. That was three years ago and I was 25 years old.

    £1000 went up to €1700 with 1 year ncd when Hibernian ****ed everyone over after the EU ruling on 3rd party clams and Euro change over. 18 on a 125 Marauder.

    €870 fire and theft on a provisional (or permit?) on a shop-restricted Er-5.

    With Quinn so doubts abounds as to whether they'll ever pay out. :rolleyes:

    I like to think they would though. They're nice enough on the phone leastways...
