1300gs TE ASA Insurance- No Quotes !

Tall Lad said:
I currently ride a 1250GSA 2019, insurance, fully comp, is £178. I have bought a 1300GSA TE ASA, delivery 1st March. I have been looking at insurance quotes, the cheapest I have found so far is £673!! with Bennetts, £495!!! more than my current insurance! It's a piss take!

I had the same on all 3 if my GS' but after the 1st year once it's under their current financial trigger which IIRC is £20k and you're no longer eligible for a new replacement if it's stolen or written off then your premium will drop to a more biker friendly amount 👍
 
Given the theft rate of GS in the UK, I'm amazed they offer insurance on them at all.....as someone said, if it is inside the M25, you would probably need an SAS squad guarding it to get insurance!

That's good news. Ill be insuring my new GSA in the morning, Couldn't do it before, As BMW say they can only get the registration 14 days before March 1st. Fingers crossed.
 
It’s not just the GS that’s silly money to insure.
I checked the cost of insuring several bikes this week and they are also scandalous cost.
For instance, 2025 Honda NT110 fully comp, loads of Ncd, kept in a locked garage. Decent postcode. £981 …….shocking.

What's the "not bad" price?.

ASA was more expensive due to it being a new bike, I got a quote a few weeks ago for £722, that was down from £1600 in December, did it yesterday for March delivery

I’m inside M25 so it’s bearable, still 50% higher than my 1250 though

They like to rip you off with anything new sensing desperation!

I got my GS (not asa) insured for £440 today with Bikesure, the staff I spoke to have been great, and adding 5 'mods' wasn't the ball ache I was expecting.

Devitt wanted to fleece me of £960 after getting a grand out of me this time last year when the 1300 was still a newish bike.

certainly worth shopping around and a phone call.

my Devitts quote was underwritten by ageas (your Bennetts underwriter), and they were very good based on when I had a car stolen in 2016, but Im not paying double.

No tracker declared on mine, my security is an Oxford anchorforce ground anchor and datatag, and two chains!

I have and declared Granite Ground anchor and Oxford monster chain. In a brick built garage. They wasn't interested in the alarm and movement sensors with IR cameras. As long as it was brick built on my property.
 
The bike theft thing is pretty crazy in the UK. While we have a car theft problem over here, in 45 years of riding I've never heard of a single bike theft. A complete non issue for insurance. For a certain dozen car models though it's big time key scanner theft
