I'd be curious to see what raises insurance premiums more for high performance bikes - how "nickable" it is or how many accidents that they have been involved with.

An insurance payout that involves even minor injury will likely be more than the value of the bike.

Should RCA be more annoyed at someone that is a careful rider but is targetted by professional thieves, or the guy that keeps the bike in his house but rides irresponsibly.

Who the hell wants a bike in the house? Whatever next? Men in the kitchen?

What a bizarre thread.

(Sorry to hear about the R6 matey.)

Hi,
Wheeled my Triumph Bonneville up a ramp and into my kitchen for some ten years to stop it being thieved - no problem with that, even the wife was understanding. Now have a secure garage but would prefer a conservatory -it's warmer. Presently building her up in the dining room whilst the dining table is stored in the garage - it's a better working environment. My first big bike was stolen and I was gutted - swore it wouldn't happen again.
