Re: 1000/1100 Tyres

I've just put a new set of BT 46 on my 1000SZ, and quite like them, (they don't see any wet weather, so can comment on wet performance)...I had Avon roadrider on before, but they used to white line like buggery!

Re: Insurance...

So my Kat renewal is £176 on a classic policy with an agreed value of £5k, just out of interest what is the agreed value of yours as I think they are taking the piss a bit, my Busa is only £126 and that’s worth more than £5k, it will have NCD on it but still.

Re: Insurance...

I found it cheaper to insure the kat and my other bike (BMW f800gs) separately as combining them means you can't have a classic bike policy, just a multibike policy. £60 for the BMW, and £124 for the kat, both have free breakdown and unlimited mileage. The only thing with the classic bike policy is ...

Re: Insurance...

Right, now all sorted with Peter James, £124 unlimited mileage, which saves me over £30, so well worth it
Thanks for the advice and recommendations.

It's come round again, any suggestions on the best companies out there at the mo? Quoted £157 for the 1000, which seemed a bit steep. I only pay £60 for an 800gs and the mileage isn't limited, plus I get euro breakdown cover for that (must be something to do with being an old git). Unfortunately the...

Just took the log book to the post office and they did everything there for me...then taxed it for free, you just need to sign the exemption form The only hold up was DVLA actually sending the log book back. I had ...
