FazerPhil

If you think you have insurance problems - just try getting insurance (car or bike) in Northern Ireland. If you look at the small print in most of the companies advertising on TV - that have dogs talking and telephones on wheels, etc - they say "excludes N.I." I bought a 2004 FZ6S Fazer last November and tried the Yamaha website - what a joke! Quoted something like £350 for TPF&T and £600 odds for fully comp. I'm the wrong side of 45 and have held a full licence since 1976 (although haven't held insurance for the past 6 years) the bike is kept in a locked garage attached to my home and is used mainly for pleasure - with a few trips to/from work thrown in . However I contacted a local broker (Open and Direct) who got me TPF&T for £132.00 - now that's a bit more realistic.

Hi, Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Phil from Belfast and I bought a 2004 FZ6S (the 'eurofazer') at the end of November last year. So far I have put about 2,000 miles on it and enjoyed every minute of it. This is my first 'big bike' as my previous one was a 1976 Honda 400/4 (that I sold yesterday after 10 years). I have had various smaller bikes over the years since my first - FS1E (in purple) in 1974. Brand new and on-the-road including 1 year's fully comp insurance for £220 !!!
