EDIT:
mistake or not, Mister does NOT want to read any non aussie info on the subject. (http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll129/steezin_and_wheezin/smilin/smiley-taunt005.gif) :icon_lol:
@steezin_and_wheezin - instead of editing the post to let us know it is in the Aussie forum, why not delete the rest of your post about prices and whatnot and just leave the "sorry didn't realize" part, otherwise we read it first only to discover you made an error.
@Milos - I am with Swann too. Both my bikes. Cheaper than all the other insurers I called. Apparently (according to my mechanic who does insurance work) they are Slow to pay those who fix bikes after some damage, but that is not our problem is it? Possibl;y only drawback is no afterhours number. So if you need a claim number or whatnot cause of an off on the weekend you need to wait until Mon-Fri business hours.
In Qld your main choices will be Swann, QBE, Suncorp and Shannons. You could also try Insuremyride but Swann, who has Real people, is cheaper than them too.

I use NRMA.
I didnt realise they were state specific!
I'm thinking I might opt to only get third party damages, so it wont cost much anyway. A few years worth of comprehensive insurance would buy me another GS outright!
I'm with AAMI and I found it cheaper than Swan for all the same protection.
Oh and A. Milo mines an 07 insured for 7500 and it costs me 385 for full comprehensive.

Mmmm.... my full comprehensive for an 09 at $8,200 (agreed price) is only like $215. No wonder no-one else can beat it :icon_mrgreen: :thumb:

I've got my car, bike, contents and both lots of ctp with suncorp, price for one and for the fact they were the first insurance mob to come out after the floods and say that there customers were fully covered.

Yea your lucky. I don't have many years on the road on my bike and as such I don't get any quotes even NEAR that price. Wish I did.
I've found the same Trade Count.. $18 a mth, pretty good I think!
Sorry I meant mister I found the same with Swann $18 a mth, no more for paying monthly, so its 216 per annum
Thats pretty damn cheap :thumb:
it is codajastal ... Might as well get the cover note from them in the morning before i pick it up :woohoo:

Yes, That is a MUST :thumb: and call me Cods, everyone else does. :icon_rolleyes:
Will do Cods! :cheers:
I was with swann with the GS cause they were cheap. Thing is there not open 24hrs and alot of it is done online like claim numbers etc. Also insurance repairers & towies have waited ages to be paid from swann which makes them reluctant and can refuse to do their jobs. I've used suncorp, RACQ, and nrma for bike insurance all of them insure the GS so good place to start.
Thanks slipperymongoose, That dosen;t worry me.. I'll still go with Swann for a bit then self insure.. Like the Cods. :thumb:
Has anyone used InsureMyRide? They're a Suncorp subsidiary, prices seem OK?
Heaps on here use em, they all say their good!
I use insuremyride.
I'm with InsureMyRide and the price is right, includes $1000 of gear coverage plus $1500 of modifications (my custom pipe alone was nearly $800). Market value for the bike but that's fair enough given it turns 32 this year. Can't remember the price but around $250 a year from memory.
I haven't had to claim with them fortunately so not sure how good/bad that process is.
Excellent, thanks. I haven't got any insurance yet, originally I figured it wasn't necessary as the bike only cost me $2500, but I'm about to spend $$ on a major service, bought $1000 in gear etc, so it's probably worth it. At the very least, I should get 3rd party in case I break someone else's property.
Yes, make sure you at least have 3rd party. When I got knocked off late last year the guy had no insurance whatsoever. If I had've done what I should've done and called my insurance company, my handguards and saddlebags would be replaced by now but he would be in a world of financial pain because there would've been labour costs on top and the guy is an apprentice with very little free $$$... which is why everything's *still* not finalised yet...
With my previous bike I used AAMI and their coverage was great especially for a 30+ year old bike. The customer service was good and I think I paid about 350 per year for third party being under 21 at the time.
So far this time InsureMyRide's been good, but I've hit one snag where Brisbane Motorcycles have sent a total loss claim in because they're too damn lazy to go looking for parts. Another quote today for actual repairs and has come in a lot less than total loss, so hopefully they'll take the logical option there, but apparently it's tricky because the first quote's already submitted. :dunno_black:
Oh, I'm well under $300 for comprehensive cover... but my bike is 32 years old... and I'm a touch older than that...
Even if the first quote is submitted aren't they required to go through at least 2-3 quote services/mechanics? or am I thinking this only for cars?
Ive only got 3rd party , fire and theft with AAMI at $185 a year. regardless of 20 years of car driving and never one single accident or claim, Im a learner bike rider and comprehnsive would be about $800 a year with a value of $5200!!! I couldnt believe it. My $25,000 + dollar modified V8 is cheaper!

All sorted, went up to Quality Bike Repairs at Lawnton, new quote less than $1300, repair approved and parts now ordered :thumb:
They don't *have* to go through multiple quotes, but they're definitely happy to look at additional quotes if there's one that's way out there like this situation... win win for me :D
Hi , im in QLD with insuremyride, full comp - $250/year
Hey that ain't bad
I actually just got the renewal in the mail last week, gotta pay soon I guess ;)
