Get a quote from insurers you get from yellow pages or from the web.

Looking at a motorbike but cant find insurance companys that insure this make?

Im looking at getting a SMC (Southern MotorCycles) road bike but cant find any insurers that take this make. Does anybody know of any? in United Kingdom. Cheers

Don’t buy it.

S.M.C. is just a badge for a cheap, poorly made unreliable piece of tat. They are assembled in the U.S.A., using low grade components sourced from the Far East. Heck, their warranty is only 3 months!

Insurance companies don’t list S.M.C. as a manufacturer, because S.M.C. is not a manufacturer.

Motorbike - insurance company sold wrecked motorbike on WITHOUT OWNERS CONSENT or log book. HELP!!?

Please help!!!
My boyfriend was involved in an accident on his motorbike last year. The motorbike is more or less a write off, only fit for selling parts. The insurance company took the bike off his hands in April last year but he kept hold of the log book.
The company has not yet decided who’s fault the accident was, therefore not paid any money out for the bike as yet.
My boyfriend recently found out that the bike had been sold on in December last year. This would have been without my partners consent / permission and without the log book. He has still seen no money.

where does he stand with this situation as his intentions were to get the bike back to fix or sell for parts if he did not end up getting a pay out. Obviously he cannot do this now as the bike has been sold.

Have the insurance company broken any laws?
Can he get the ammount that the bike was evaluated at?
What is the best route for him to take? Legal action?

Please help we need advice, very angry and upset!!

Any comments, suggestions or advice would be very much appreciated!!

Many thanks in advance!

Yeah, they pulled that crap on me too. Except in my case they actually had it removed from the garage before paying out or even telling me it was being written off, and without my knowledge; technically theft.

It was a similar situation, in that it was a multiple vehicle accident which they’re probably still arguing about and I wasn’t even involved. The bike was parked on the street, van pulls out without looking, taxi swerves, hits the van door, crumps into a line of bikes and knocks mine and three others over.
The only thing I bothered arguing about with my insurer (Bennetts; don’t touch them with a shitty stick) was when the paid out they actually had the neck to deduct my excess from the payment; when I wasn’t even involved in the crash. After a rather blunt phonecall I got it.

Difference is, though, I actually got the money.

I’m sorry, I’ve got nothing better for you than find your local CAB, or, and this is a guess, really, look for help from MCN newspaper or any other biker publication. They tend to be staffed by bikers who have all had runs in with insurance and coppers so they won’t be slow to help if they can.

Reliant Robin insures as bike?

If a reliant robin can be driven with a motor bike license, where on earth do you get a motorbike insurer who will insure it as such. The only online quotes I can get have them listed as cars. But these assume you have a car license?

"If a reliant robin can be driven with a motor bike license…"

Only if you passed your full bike test before October 2000.

"… where on earth do you get a motorbike insurer who will insure it as such."

You don’t. Since the law changed 10 years ago, all three wheelers are now classed as a "Light car" for the purposes of insurance (Category B1 on your driving licence).

owning a car at 17? uk?

admin — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 19:57:13 +0000

hey, im just wondering how much would it cost for a 17 year old
Takes lessons + pass
insurance per year (how much does insurance go down if you dont crash?)
a small car, manual, for around 1000 quid
petrol (i’d be using it everyday)

Are motorbikes any cheaper? if so by how much?

Thanks sxxxxx
MOT , AND TAX ASWELLL I FORGOT TO ADD THAT x

Look for a 306D. Not the 2.0HDI version, but the older 1.9D version. Looked after these things go on for ever and ever, unlike many of it’s French counterparts. Costs pennies to run and insure. Cheap as well.

Something like this: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201005351835252/sort/priceasc/usedcars/maximum-mileage/up_to_80000_miles/fuel-type/diesel/model/306/make/peugeot/radius/1500/page/1/postcode/g23pu?previous=/search/used/cars/peugeot/306/postcode/g23pu/radius/1500/maximum-mileage/up_to_80000_miles/fuel-type/diesel/page/1/sort/priceasc&logcode=p
