I received a lovely letter this week from NRMA, trying to win me over for bike insurance. I have the house contents and car with them (and car greenslip) but their bike insurance premium last year was nowhere near the money so I went with IMR. The letter explained how NRMA was now in the position to offer me a competetive price, and if I contacted them I would be surprised. Well, I did contact them and I DID get a surprise  .. $1188.92 thankyou very much mr Gibbons. My IMR renewal arrived in the post yesterday .. $512.20 (down from $580.97 last year). It was originally $537 but as the bike is now garaged (as opposed to "kept in carport") I contacted them and they reduced the premium. The "sum insured" did go down from $9900 to $9600, but hey .. if someone offered me $9600 for it, I would snap it up in a heartbeat.
Cheers .. Dale

I got my renewal in the post the other day. Insure My Ride. $865, GenII, $15000 value. So I thought I would shop around for quotes. No one else came near, one quoted $3240. Another was around the $1200 mark and another around $1800.
Clearly they don't want Busas to insure.
So, I won't insure my car, house, boat or any new bike with them either.
I wonder if Insure My Ride do houses?

Try Shannon's, ask for limited use only 
It helps if you had no claims & fairly clean licence but

Bahaha! The NRMA have made it abundantly clear that they do not want to insure motorcycles.
"casting dispersions on others credability." And their illiteracy.

I am going with them as well. They had the most competetive price and seem to understand the bikes.

Give them a look, they are part of Suncorp (so are a lot of insurance companies these days).

Not sure 'Rating 1 for life' means very much. Insurance companies are always telling half truths.
When applying for your insurance, you're always asked how many claims you've made in the last 5 years? I'm pretty sure any amount of accidents within that period gets rid of any benefit a life rating 1 would allegedly give us.
Carpe Diem!
