Hi there, i'm new to the forum so do forgive me if i make any mistakes. Just picked up my brand new Yamaha YZF R125 50th Anniversary edition yesterday, rides like a dream and goes pretty well (bearing in mind i come from a 50cc scooter restricted to 30mph and i'm only 17) Anyhow, the CHEAPEST insurance i could get fully comp was £1007 a year, and of course there is no way i can fork up that cash up front, so its more like £1300 a year with the monthly interest. I have a claim against me (driver hit me, as he skipped across lanes, but he made up phony witnesses and won the damn claim against me) it was a very small amount, writ of my scooter though. Is £1300 a year expensive for this type of bike? It's substantially lower for the Honda CBR125 and even the Aprilia RS125 is cheaper than this. Any clues why? Kind Regards Dane.
