Insurance recommendation for vintage bikes.

[mxs]

Jevco and SF is the only ones known to me ..... if your bike has a short VIN number (chances are pretty good), everybody else will pretty much walk away. They have the market for themselves as far as I am concerned. I guess it's not too big of market here ...

People use vintage term ... what does it mean anyway? If you want to ride the bike street legally, the only thing which matters is the age of the machine.

My experience exactly, mxs. My BMW has a short VIN and TD Insurance refused to quote for just that reason. I tried both Jevco and John Duffy Ins. and both appear not to have a problem with the VIN. I'll see what SF can do for me.

Update: Went with John Duffy with the lowest premium. Heads up: They needed scan of ownership, photos of VIN plate, chassis number and engine number from me for underwriter to assess.

My vintage BMW has been with Dalton Timmins on a vintage policy (less than 5000 kms per year I think) for about $300 a year. I had it previously with TD on regular policy for more than twice that premium.

jevco, ridersplus (echelon) and dalton timmis will offer insurance but only liability. i cant remember which is which but pretty much the cut off is 20 yrs old bike for a policy with more than just liability. atleast this is what i got when i called around.

Jevco / Dalton Timmins, and it's not just for parades and stuff, you can ride around normally.
