959 Insurance Costs....very Expensive

Discussion in 'Panigale' started by Jimglasgow, Mar 12, 2016.

  1. I just went to look at cost to insure the 959 and I'm falling off my seat at the cost, outrageously expensive. Is it actually cheaper to insure the 1199 or a 1299, has anyone encountered the same, its this because its such a new model?

    My BMW S1000RR was cheaper by a country mile as they say.

  7. I'm 25 and pay 450 a year on my 899. In Kent.
     
  8. That's a good price, how many years NCD?
     
  9. I'm assuming your all fully comprehensive.
     
  10. Full comp, £590 30 years old, 1 year NCD
     
  11. I'm £300 this year fully comp on an 899 with 3 years NCB. I'm 30 but assume the postcode up in the north east helps. [emoji1]

  12. £185 with Ducati Insurance for my Multistrada , 51 years of riding without a claim, being an old fart does have its advantages sometimes, except when trying to get on the bike.

  13. Mine is around £550 with max NCD, I live in the Newb/Berkshire area and am 31. I was paying £160 for my 2013 Triumph Daytona 675r so yeah, quite a jump from that! my old 848 was around £450 though and I assume it's largely value and cost to repair them! not just the theft element.
     
  14. Coming up to three years ncb with MCE. Advanced rider and a good area of Kent.
     
  15. New models are always ridiculous to insure on the first year of launch. Think insurance companies get a bit sketchy about this. I had the same experience when I bought the 848 evo and the 899 but I found that the 2nd year went back to a more realistic price.
     
  16. Thought this would be the case
     
  17. Been getting quotes today as my bike is actually due next week

    Shocked at the prices and I'm actually thinking of pulling out of the deal

    It's 4x more expensive than a Kawasaki zx6 for example.


    Anyone suggest a good insurance company? I've tried all the comparison sites but they're all the same companies anyway.


    Cheers
     
  18. I went with Bennets who were one of the cheapest as well as having the highest rating I could find too. [emoji4]
     
  19. I think its because its so new next year it will be different I hope
     
  20. 340 fully comp for the 899 and 75 quid for the speed triple. Both on separate policies.
