Help !!!

Trying to sort out insurance for my stepson, this is proving to be something of a stumbling block, to put it mildly !!

Has anybody had any luck getting this bike properly insured, and if so who by !!

Thanks

Hi all

Sorted in the end, through rampdale, £400 exactly.

Now this may sound alot, but, bear in mind he's 19, passed his test less than a week ago, and has no no claims bonus !!

MCE were more than useless, they misquoted 3 times, the worst being they'd realised after they'd taken the money out to pay for cover, then realised they'd cocked it up, cancelled the policy, but now I'm waiting for the refund to re-appear in my bank !! bloody marvelous !!

Some of the other insurance companies, were rather expensive, but that was purely down to the fact he's only 19, has no no claims bonus and has only passed his test 4 days ago !!

Norwich union were the funniest, when told the engine size (400cc), and his age the sales lady said, I might as well stop you there, as for young drivers, anything over a 100 you will find that we're not competative at all !! I at least admire her honesty !!

Some quotes were rediculous to the point of being sublime, Carol Nash £3000 !! Oh please!!, do me a favour !!

Another I did quite like was Bikesure, TPFT £560, including legal fees and helmet/clothing cover.

Anyhow, it's amazing how many of these insurance companies are related to each other !! Feel like I've been going round in circles !!

Anyhow, long and short rampdale the best, Bikesure good, Carol Nash, well the less said and finally MCE worst insurance company, of any form, I've ever had the misfortune to deal with.

Cheers

Tony

Hi I've just had a similar problem my skygo 200-18 is not listed on the insurance database only the skygo 200-10 and the 200-16 but as I've got a policy with a viva they've  allowed it so I was able to get insured. My insurance broker said that I could have had to go to a specialist chinese motorcycle insurer

Good to know. What is a viva? I did not realize there were specialist chinese motorcycle insurers but I guess that would make sense.
