Ninja 1000 SX insurance cost

[KGC]

Initially less than chuffed to find today,that my insurance bump for 7 months on my new Ninja, which I am collecting on Saturday,  is almost the same as last year's Kawasaki insurance policy for my 2017 performance tourer. A bit happier when I did a quick Confused.com check for a new 12 month policy and the cheapest is still with Kawasaki at over double the premium bump. At least in May 21 I will have 5 years NCB which should reduce it. Of note, the  Confused.com quote page still doesn't display the Ninja 1000 SX 1000 tourer or performance tourer, just the basic bike.

Of my last 4 bikes the Kawasaki is the cheapest (New price) and least powerful (Multistrada 1200, MT-10, Superduke GT) and the most expensive to insure, the only major change is that I have more NCB now and the SX has a tracker.

The only thing that I can think of is that it is such a popular and numerous bike that there are a lot more claims against the Z1000SX than my previous 3, making it a perceived higher risk of a claim. Renaming the new bike Ninja and bringing it into the sports side of the Kawasaki family won't help that one.

Give BEMOTO a ring, just cost me £67 to add the SX onto my existing Gixxer policy (pro rata works out at £124) for platinum cover, every possible extra including European breakdown cover. Gixxer only cost £187 for 12 months

The z1000 was cheaper for me than the mt07 was . I actually got a £27 refund . Result
