Classic bike insurance to claim or not?
Merrick asked:
ok my bike was stolen and pretty badly damaged
its a 1994 classic honda fireblade 38000 miles and was in pretty good conditon
in my estimate it would cost over £2000 to get it back to how it was like new
or around £700 from places like ebay but look like cr ap
or claim on my insurance
but i have 8 years no claims £198 tpft
£450 excess
what would i get if i claimed ?
how much would Viagra buy my insurance go up by?
i think they would write bike of as unrepairable
Reply:
In the US, my insurance would not go up because they pay out for a stolen vehicle, vandalism or non at fault accidents - only for excessive claims or claim due an at fault accident.

Motorcycle Cover – you and your Bike
The bike would be written off by your insurance. and you wold be paid out
Its up to you, but your not obligated to claim if you think it coudl affect your insurance premium . But i would see how much you would get paid out… what value they give the bike.

You will need to pass a CBT (compulsive basic training) before you can go out on the road as a learner driver. It's a basic training course to make sure you can ride safely on the road. The cost is approx £100. If you have not passed your driving test within 2 years you will need to do another CBT as the certificate is only valid for 2 years. Also you cannot get insurance without this certificate. I have a Honda S Wing 125 and love being out on it. Scooters are very cheap to run and road tax is only £15 per year. Good luck
The cager who hit you should be sentenced to life in a shopping cart. Get back on that bike, bro, and ride the hell out it. Make ‘em hear those pipes in the next county.
Well it is a fact that most about 89% of all motorcycle accidents are caused by not the person on the bike but the person in the car…
Take a look at the V5 registration document.
If it says, "The vehicle was declared new at first registration", then it's a U.K. bike.
If it says "The vehicle has been used/registered overseas prior to U.K. registration", then it's an import.
Technically, all Japanese bikes are imports, as they are all made overseas. What the insurance company actually wants to know, is if it's an official U.K. bike, or a grey/parallel import.
