Insurance K0 500 four 1971 - What is a good deal?
Laverda Dave:
I think I'll be trying Footman James at renewal time in October. Now that Carol Nash has been taken over by one of the majors their premiums have escalated. Changing from my 2005 1150 Triumph Sprint to a 2005 Blackbird pushed the premium up by over 200 pounds at the last renewal! Footman James couldn't offer me a quote last October so I'll try again this year.

I should add to the above post about Footman James. I have full no claims, am mid 50's, and live in a very good insurance post code. I think they are good although the test of good insurance is how a claim turns out, and I have not tested that yet.
Chris400F:
I switched to Footman James last year as I was fed up with my previous insurers messing me about and Footman James seemed to offer a good package.
You get a discounted premium if you are a member of one of the various clubs - I joined the HOC as the insurance cost + membership cost was less than the insurance would have cost without the membership.

try Peter James,he was once the "James" in Footman James,
I use CAI insurance at present,but will be asking PJ,FJ and few others in a couple of months time
Laverda Dave:
Thanks for the tips.
Apparently the Honda Blackbird is (was?) the most crashed bike and very expensive to repair hence the high premium. It's much better then my old Triumph Sprint 1050ST though in finish, performance and looks. Not that I ride it much.....I don't want to crash it ::)
