2002 1150 GS "Classic" ?

[Spud]

I have an '02 1150 GS (which I love) but also have a '14 GS
They are both insured on one policy at the moment, but could the '02 GS go on a classic policy (perhaps together with a '79 z650)
Wasn't sure if it would qualify or not, so wondered if anyone had done it ......
Thanks

I'd be surprised if any insurer would consider a 14 year old bike to be old enough for a classic policy

I'm pretty sure for my own insurers for it to fall in to the 'classic' side of things it has to be 25 years or older

I believe Footman James (broker) will count 15 years old as "classic". I know for a fact that 18 years qualifies.

But... when I asked them for a quote for my Trophy 900 they came back with the same premium from the same insurer as I am with at the moment! A slightly lower excess but, of course, no possibility for future NCB.

I don't understand why classic bike policies can't accrue NCB when running

Don't start me on that one !! I rode nothing but classics for 10 years, to be told when I got a Speed Triple.... "Sorry it's so expensive, but you have no no Claims"

On some Classic policies you only need one "Classic" bike but can add modern bikes

My current "Classic" policy is just up for renewal at £378. That's for a total of 7 bikes including an R1150R and GS1150 amongst them with full U/K and european breakdown cover and unlimited mileage.

Worth asking the question, because it may be the case. I lost all mine
