The thing is, you might spend £100-£150 on a lock to save 10% on your insurance, which obviously isn’t worth it. The same goes for alarms. And in 2-3 years time you might find it doesn’t qualify any more.
(This is why I don’t waste money on alarms)
Datatag or Smartwater is cheaper and more permenant and will get the same discount.
Other than that I’m assuming that as a bigger bike isn’t an option that you are on L plates? If so, passing your test will make the biggest difference. You should, as you are experienced, be able to pass on your own bike with a day’s worth of tuition. This is what I did! It cost me £100 all in, including test fee, but that was a long time ago. I’d imagine you could pass your test for n ot much more than the price of an expensive lock.
Other than that, have you REALLY shopped around enough? Have you used the price comparison websites? Most of them do bike insurance now.
Just to make you sick, we insure a Ducati ST3s for £150 fully comp for 2 riders and a Vespa GT 200 for £56, again, fully comp, 2 riders.
Age helps, my IAM qualification helps, location helps though… 🙂
