dan2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Hi, Thinking of getting a new (07) R6. Have been on a couple of insurance websites looking for quotes and one in particular offers the R6 at approx half the cost compared to other 600cc sports bikes. I've checked that I've put my details in correctly god knows how many times. Personally I reckon its a mistake within the website and how it calculates the premium eg, when I put in YZF-R6, it really thinks I've said something that resembles a hairdryer. Do you think the insurance company can make me pay the extra if at some point after I've purchased it they realise the error. Do you think there is an error or is it me? I read an old review from 2002 that said 'due to a bizarre insurance mix up I had to sell the bike', and i don't really want to be in that position. Any ideas?? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Assuming that you put your details in correctly and asked for the same level of cover, then you would be insured. You should also check what you are insured for, as this can mean alot of difference to the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thought it very strange that there should be a huge difference between R6 compared to CBR/GSX-R/ZX etc when every other site has them at same cost.

Thanks that's useful, wasn't sure about phoning them as I don't want to alert them that there might be an error. I'm 25 and first bike from direct access, have ridden when younger on 125's but insurance wise it'll be my first year so approx 650 fully comp. Slightly apprehensive with the whole powerful first bike thing but I will take it steady until I get the feel for it. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
