how much discount do you get on a policy for having an alarm on your bike
any one know

[wogger]

Don't get conned by that one...........Bennetts said I should fit one of THEIR approved alarms to the numptystrada, cost about 300 squid, and when they worked it out it would have saved me about a tenner, shop around, one of the best at the moment seems to be online at Ebike.

Don't know how much discount but be careful when you compare quotes. I tried eBike and they came in about £30 cheaper than my renewal quote from Ducati Insurance - but when you take in the fact that with eBike the compulsory excess was well over double the DI deal then I would instantly be out of pocket by several hundred quid if I make a claim. Got protected no claims with DI as well.

An alarm may cost £300 and you will save 10% ie £30 if your lucky off your premium. That's how much Ducati Insurance knocked off my premium.

more a questin of who will insure and at what cost if yiou dont have one fitted..depending on where you live of course. Altho I'd say not fitted on an ST is more insurable than a 999

Glyn mate - don't forget they are a complete pain in the arse, especially the immobiliser part of them Personally I'm much happier with a big chain and ground anchor

neither....but I'll have the 9mm and you can have the flintlock!!

and I dont own a 999...who would ?!

The discount is usually around 7.5% - this can vary in terms of how the rate is calculated within the whole calculation. Access Underwriting policies offer up to 25% for security including discounts for anchors chains and garage alarms/garage defenders

I knew where you were coming from, but in return I was joking.

A flintlock with wet powder I take it!
I don't like the styling of 999's
I have an ST because it can take a topbox for my son to lean against, but even that has the lights styled by a blind man.
If they can replace the 999 with something like the Moto GP styled bike I'd buy one for me (sorry oliver).
