Kawasaki H2 Insurance
ANYONE wondering if they can afford Kawasaki’s £22,000 Ninja H2 might be well advised to do some insurance research before agreeing a bank loan.
Visordown has been experimenting with insurance quotes for the 200hp supercharged Ninja on a price comparison website, using details of a middle-aged motorcyclist with a long, clean riding record. As an Essex home owner, the only quote he received was £5,752. Changing his address to north London pushed it to £7,183.

Re: Kawasaki H2 Insurance
oooofff that would hurt a bit.
That said anyone who spends £22k on a new bike before making insurance enquiries, hasn't though it through very well.

Re: Kawasaki H2 Insurance
I did a quote on a superleggra on comparison websites and cheapest quote was over £7000 but going to a Ducati specialist dropped it massively to £1900 but still expensive, although as Kwacky says it goes with the territory of buying and owning exotic bikes.

Re: Kawasaki H2 Insurance
I don't suppose it helps they are all hand built in limited numbers. Spares costs must make the risk of right off very high I guess, still 30% of the bikes value for one years insurance does seem steep IMO.

Re: Kawasaki H2 Insurance
I suspect as you point out that there is specialist insurance out there which would get you a much lower price.
People who have converted their bikes with turbos and the like have been able to get insurance at reasonable prices so presumably it's the reasons you've posted that are causing the high quotes.

Re: Kawasaki H2 Insurance
Went up about £60 if I remember rightly but had to shop around to get that price. Pervious insurer wanted more.Perkles wrote:whats the difference in insurance cost between your old fireblade and the zx10r Blade ?

Re: Kawasaki H2 Insurance
When I went from the cbr600 to the zx6r I paid about £50, despite the increase in value of the bike.

Re: Kawasaki H2 Insurance
Obviously the market value of the ten was higher than the blade Perkles so this will have factored in the premium increase.

Seriously though, enjoy it Perkles. No such thing as a bad bike out there and that looks like fun.

A quote from Kawasaki's own insurance provider came in at £899, for the same north London address and rider, on the condition the machine be fitted with a tracker
