insurance

damn, just looked up my insurance for my 1990 vfr. it is 1500 this year:blue:

 

I've heard that Canada is real expensive for bike insurance. Doesn't seem fair.

 

Its all because for the damned polar bears and wild beavers we have here.

 

That is insane. I pay $132 a year for my 2007.

 

Few options you can have a look at but I think they have some mileage restrictions Dalton Timmis, State Farm, Aviva Vintage Insurance and Zehr Insurance Brokers of New Hamburg

 

Canadian beaver, huh? Ive seen pics, damn fine looking if you know what I mean...

:wink:

:focus:


Are we talking full coverage or liability only? As a broker, unless you are comparing in kind policies, there are way too many variables to only compare dollar amounts. Coverage, age, location, driving record, years experience, other policies with the same company, etc.

 

Sgi is the only game in town for us and that will give me a 800 dollar ded for a bike that they value at 1000

 

Pliskin is an insurance guy and may have some advice. You guys are getting screwed!

Just paid my premium on the mach 1 91. Minimum required coverage in Oregon 108 pesos for a year.

 

I wish bb

 

It's public insurance .... we're bent over and rammed hard here in Manitoba too.

I'm paying about $1,500 for the season, and the payments are made only during the 6-month riding season. Right now, I'm riding "for free".

SMI used to have policies for motorcycles, but it's not available in Manitoba anymore (only for cars). I would check to see what your basic coverage is in Saskabush and see if SMI has motorcycle policies still for SK.

 

free sounds good

 

my wife and I are thinking of selling our bikes now. it will cost us 3100 to plate them this year

 

That blows, dude. Just not going to drive them enough to warrant it?

My VFR is going to be my daily commuter once the over night lows are 0*C or above.

If you do sell your VFR (90?) let me know before you do. I might be interested ...

 

I just did a comparison, it's cheaper to insure my 2002 VFR800 than it is to insure a 1990 VFR750 .... even with a higher declared value???

 

I feel for you I register my VFR for 45 days riding per year $70 and fully comp insure it for $140 and that includes salvage rights. Couple of years ago I had an accident on my CB750 and broke the ignition cover, they wrote it off, paid me out, I bought it back for $150, fitted a new ignition cover, and they re insured it for the same value they just paid me out on, no problems at all, can't get any better than that. The reason they wrote it off was because they couldn't tell if any dirt had got into the motor through the hole in the ignition cover

 

Can you get both public and private in Saskabush? We can here. I have my basic liability with ICBC and fire theft and collision through Beacon International which saves me a couple hundred a year. My private is also declared value. I have mine valued at $6K so if I loose it, that's what I get minus the delectable (1K) That also covers $2K for gear. A bit over insured but rather that than under.

 

sgi is all we can do

 

sweet 1990 vfr750 f and a cherry 1991 cbr600f2 may be on the block. offers anyone?

 

Yah, we have that here in Manitoba ... we use MPIC for our cars with basic. Then get SMI (Saskatchewan Mutual Insurance) for comprehensive.

SMI used to offer comprehensive for motorcycle as well, but discontinued it in Manitoba a few years back.

SMI (Saskatchewan Mutual Insurance) isn't available? Did they do away with motorcycle comprehensive all together?

Got photos of that VFR? I might be interested or have someone that might be.

 

yes they did jeff
