Cheap motorbike insurance for Chinese bike (125cc)?
Charleton asked:
This is for my son he is 19 just received his CBT and looking for a cheap insurance company. I have search and search and it takes ages filling in quotes to be told they don't list his bike! It's a Shineray 125cc made in China. The lowest quote is 3rd party £274 with £200 excess. Does anyone know one cheaper or is this cheap? Thank You. (mum)
Thank You for comments so far, but I just want to know the cheapest insurers. I know there are many out people out there that have bought a bike from China and with no complaints. etc..

After my recent trip to Europe it was interesting to me to learn just how concerned many Europeans are about the penetration of Chinese made goods into EU markets. The same problem exists in North America.
Chinese made motorcycles. Scary. Maybe history will repeat itself. Maybe like the Japanese after WW II, their will start out being cheap and chincy, poor copies of others original ideas. And then earn a place of repect in the World for manufacturing quality. But it sure has not happened yet.
It would not surprise me if the insurance is more than the Chinese made motorcycle.

A basic rule is avoid Chinese made bikes. My first bike was a Jinlun 125-11 (Chinese) and I got that for £1100 OTR brand new. I thought it was a great deal, but I spent so much money on repairs because chinese bikes fall apart and rust very quickly, (take my word for it). Your much better off buying a second hand Japanese bike. You have quite a small budget, but if you look on auto traders (bikes) I found all of these models for less then a grand second hand.
Honda CG125
Honda CBR125r
Yamaha YBF125
If you like the RS then think you may go for the CBR125r. I have a CBR now and I love it. It's never let me down, it has some good speed and the insurance isn't bad on a CBR either. Please take my advice and dont buy a chinese made bike just because their cheap because you'll end up paying out more in the long run.
