Stolen Bike

Well, it wouldn’t be that cheap over here.

any prices Europe-wide on mobile.de?

What numbers do you get if you take original MSRP and do devaluation of 10-20-30% per year?

it sucks to have stuff stolen!!

That sucks. In Ireland, if you make a claim then you lose your no claims bonus and get completely shafted for insurance for the next 5 years (€2500/year and similar prices).

Value of bike €4k
5 years of getting raped by insurance €10k

So it's almost never worth it to claim. I don't know if it works like that in the UK, but just a thought!

I had 3 bike stolen in the UK and I have been living here for 6 years... none in italy in 18 years ...all of them around liverpool

one was a brand new CRF 450 It got taken from the paddock during a race ...basicly the day after a friend spotted a guy on istingram posting pictures pulling wheelie with a brand new CRF, got it reported to the police and they done **** all, 2 monts later, after finding out where he lives they knock at his door and all he said was ''that was my friend bike'' ...and I was told they won't continue the investigation

all I learned was
forget about motorcycle chain lock, they do nothing, got some used crane heavy duty chain that does the job

GPS tracker I got a chinese one for 70 and I spend about 5 every 3 months to run it, with 3 months independent battery (it's really good)

if you don't claim the money you will still remain with your 2 years NCB

try to contact another company to get a quote for an insurace with no NCB and the theft
and you can see how much they will charge you after it might go up by 200/300 or a lot more

all the best

The thing is though that when you get any insurance again, they ask you if you've had a claim in the last 5 (or however many) years. And if you say yes, they'll give you a good rogering. A friend of mine's insurance went from €410 to €2800. And on the fifth year it had come down to €1750. Maybe that's just Ireland. It's a total scam here. The first time I had bike insurance I got quoted at €588, then I told them I had three speeding points as well from my car and it went down to €510! Pulling numbers out of their arses.

I know what you saying and that's happening even in the uk...but you lose NCB or you have to tell them only if you actually put the claim in. It's stupid.

I had a ktm 125 road reg and was insured (but not on theft) I couldn't claim any money so the next year I was fine with my other bike.

If your insurance will go up by a lot sometimes it's not worth to claim any money.

I got around the points, I had 9 on my italian license driving in the UK and then I change it for a British one (all 9 points gone ) I didn't declare them.

The first year I insured my bike was more then 1k and the year after was down to 250 (now 120)

That's what I got, had it for 1-2 years and not a single problem, people hide them either in air box, inside the seat, or make it look like it's part of the bike as ecu

100% worth the money

uhm..
points should in theory affect the insurance but when I exchange my license I had nothing on it, so I just didn't told them

at the end of day I think as long as you don't make a claim they always try to compete with each other to get more costumer.
