I was sort of dreading this. I got the daytona in part because it was a "big" bike, but the insurance was much less than the jap litre sportsbikes. As "What is the largest capacity motorcycle you've been riding in the last x years?" was a question that was creeping in (in various forms and variations) I thought the daytona would be a nice stepping stone. It was an extra £250ish to swap the £500ish FC policy on the daytona to the 10R for the remaining 10 months. Not too bad I thought, having paid more than that for the first year on the daytona. No doubt there'd be a big increase next year, but if it comes to it I'll have to sell the bike and get something else. At least I'll have 10 months of my dream bike. So today I get in to find a letter from Motorcycle Direct. Oh-oh. Rip it open, and find the word "renewal". Ah well. It's been a good year. It's even better now it's going to be 2/3rds last year's premium, including commuting, pillions, etc. I'll have a hunt round, but I think I'll be sticking with MD.
