Who here has insurance on a bike that is 30+ years old? The bike.....not you.

Several companies declining to insure a bike that is older than 30 years old.

I'm surprised. Where do you have it insured?
 
Sorry

I had searched for the topic but then didn't post it right away.

My bad
 
You can try The Co-operators.

State Farm - $1379/year
The Personal - $474/year - drops down to 368 if you insure car as well - car was $90 less than TD MM

That is an amazing quote - how long has she had motorcycle insurance?

She has her M1, been insured about 10 days and has a 20 year clean abstract.
PL/PD ($1million), fire/theft/comp - no collision.

Had to do something, fuel costs are spiraling. This bad boy will run about 50 miles at WOT on $3 of Shell 91.

To be honest, I'll probably ride it more than she does. :cool:

I worked out the fuel consumption on a 70's CT70, something around 130 mpg if I remember correctly. Not fast, but really good on gas.
 
This one is 'built'. 9.6mm stroked crank, 5mm overbore = 108cc. The filthy big 24mm Keihin with accelerator pump doesn't do much for fuel economy either.

So only getting 110 mpg?
<grin>
 
I ran into the same problem insuring my Porsche 944. Some of the bigger companies didn't want to touch it. I was with BelAirDirect for years and they refused to insure it. But they don't do bikes anyway so it was easier to switch and put all my vehicles under one company.
