I need some help with insurance

I need some help with insurance

So … I’m in a tight spot here lads. I’ll begin by introducing myself a little. I’m 18 still in secondary school and live in North Dublin.


I got a GS500 a few weeks back and just got my IBT completed at the beginning of this month. Now I’m looking for insurance and in all honesty it’s not looking good…


I called up Carole Nash and first they quoted me 3000 euro… I negotiated a bit etc and then they called me back with a 1200 for Third party , fire and theft. I was expecting a bit less but whatever I thought , I’ll call around and see what’s up.


I call up Liberty and got straight up denied because the bike is too big for someone my age .. I hold a A2 licence which allows me to ride anything in the 35kw range and my GS is actually restricted to 25kw ! Whatever I thought.


Next up I called Principal , same story as Liberty. Apparently I dont meet their requirements. I was shitting myself at this point that Carole Nash was the only company that can insure me. I called up one more company , MCE and spent an hour on the phone with a lad only for him to tell me I dont meet their requirements either.


Now I just want to ask , what can I do in this situation ? :unsure2:
