This is my first time paying rego for the bike. $97 flat fee =
nice. However now the CTP renewal notice has come through.
I remember when debating the purchase of the bike, I
considered a 250cc and the associated cheaper CTP but decided
it wasn't worth it. Compared to the car, I figured the higher
CTP was swallowble.
Hence I was shocked to see that the renewal price was $600.
And that was for the >25yo previous owner living in a quiet
suburb of Newcastle. I think that was QBE. I checked out
AAMI's equivalent and received a similar quote.
Does this sound about right? I was expecting at least a
couple hundred dollars cheaper.

Nuts. In 7 months I turn 25 and it drops to $400. But currently,
to insure a bike I ride 40k's a week on, half of that offroad away
from people, and not allowed to carry a pillion on anyway, I need
to pay $600 to cover damage to other people. Whaddya gunna do ay?

Just rang QBE for CTP quotes on 99cc, 250cc & 500cc bikes for 17 y.o.
rider garaging a bike in Sydney CBD.
They're $113, $254 & $621 respectively.
Wish I could by a decent "100". >> Stay informed about: CTP time |

The higher quotes I got are likely to be age-related.
These insurance companies do profiling! >> Stay informed about: CTP time |

Hi Damien
That sounds very cheap. Because the price varies with age, address and
history, I can only think you must be very old, law-abiding and out in
the sticks.
