Just got some online quotes. Insure my ride was $1100 for comprehensive insurance for a just fully licenced rider on a GSXR600 with $12K agreed plus $1K mods. Gear and valuables cover is optional, but I don't want it. Track use not covered but training days are.
ebike about the same - almost exactly.
QBE - waiting for a quote.
Shannons - get this - $2700, or $2098 if I promise to ride it 2-3 days PER MONTH. That is crazy.

Shanons wont cover me........ I ride my bike.... they dont seem to like that...
I told them that I would only ride it on days that I have an accident if it would make them feel better. But that didnt help.

As far as claims go, QBE were good. They have a network of recommended repairers, but if you don't like one it's easy to go to another.
The assessor come out fairly quickly, prices were quite close to what I considered the overall bike value and they agreed the repair. Either the write-off value is a higher percentage than I thought or the market value of the bike was higher.
When I purchased the 10R their price was also really good (for someone who'd claimed 8 months earlier)

i just rang shannons to cancel my insurance, when they asked why i said "it was out of rego, and i was going to turn it into a track toy" they said no probs we can offer you insurance for it that will cover it if stolen or comes off trailer to or from the track for $200 so i went this option and i still have all my gear covered if stolen from my garage

I just got the qbe quote - $980 - I am going to go with them. They give credit for your car rating, which is rating 1 for me.
