Met this guy on the weekend who has a 1990 GSXR 1100. He was quoted over $2000 no liability. I have the same bike and pay $619.
He has been in Canada less than a year and is this the reason for really high quotes. His car insurance was high too.

LMK what can be done.

Thanks

You need to provide more details for a comparison.
 
in his 40's, clean record. Not sure what else you need. Just wondering if this is the norm for foreigners when they come to Canada. I told him that my ques was after 1 year of being lisenced and insured here his rates should drop a lot.

Probably picked the wrong insurer. 1990 shouldn't be blacklisted any more. Has he tried Jevco?
 
Let's hope for his sake that he listens :cool:
 
Contact a different broker. Does he or can he obtain a letter of his driving experience from his insurance carrier from the UK?

Sounds like they started him out with 1 year or less of driving experience because they wouldn't take his word on previous driving record etc.

This is purely a guess but, does happen often enough as a starting point.


PS. Depending on the broker/insurer, they can get the out of country experience information. A lot of what ifs but, it's possible.
