SV: [ST] Triumph Sweden insurance cost up 206%

["Kyle Rocke" <kyle.rocke@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Andrew!

I had SUSAB the first year I bought the bike, '99. I rammed a deer after a
month and they gave me a new bike and new leathers and helmets. So, I
haven't had a bad experience with them.

I'll try calling them tomorrow. Thanks for the tip. I had forgotten about
them.

Kyle!

Long time since I saw a post from you.

It doesn't look like it.  Although according to IF the Triumph insurance
program still exists it's just that the premiums are now more in line with
other bikes.  Apart from the Daytona of course which has been booted out.

If you own a Daytona then I suspect the answer is yes.  Which means in
Sweden sales of Daytonas are likely to drop through the floor.  Makes me
even more glad that I swapped my Daytona for a Sprint last Spring.

Try calling Teletrade Försäkring on 08 566 100 00.  They take all your
details and then call up all the insurance companies on your behalf to try
and get a decent quote.  It's free and they'll either check premiums while
you wait or they'll call you back.  I tried them yesterday and they got me a
quote from SUSAB for 5400:-, which is 2000:- cheaper than the 2002 IF
premium.  However I got a mail from Jonaz (another Swedish lister) and he
mentioned some dodgy experiences with SUSAB so I will be checking the terms
and conditions of the insurance very thoroughly.
