Can't believe I have my bike a year now and it's insurance renewal time.

Who is good to go with?

I was insured through Oakland, what are the rest of your guys paying that have just got CBT?

No much use as a price guide as I've 2 bike on my policy, but I went with Adelaide on Boucher road. They price match any quote online and they're local so any issues and you can walk in. I paid £146 for the Fireblade and MSX together.

After nearly 2 years of toying with the idea of one of these, I'm still temped.

Cheapest I can find at the minute is £106ppm 0%APR with a £349 deposit on eBay.

Anyone know if there is a better deal locally?

Edit- Just noticing the last post was nearly 7 months ago! Reviving an old thread.

Go into Belfast Honda and see what they can do for you.

Yea, I actually will call in this week I think.

Forgive my ignorance, but is there bartering to be had on financing a bike?

When I was in ballymena Honda last year I was basically told that I would be lucky to get one, never mind get a better finance option.

They aren't hard to come by these days. My deal was £99 up front and £55 a month for 4 years at 0% but there was no moving on price as we bought the first 3 bikes Belfast Honda got in.

Yes, the dealer can control the APR % - I watched them drop it for me February last year. Was on a used bike though, but still through Honda finance.

18months later and 300miles on my wee bike I think I will part with it. Let me know if you would be interested.

I would love that, Very well priced. Im sure it won't sit long. Shame its at the wrong time for me.... I should have waited another month or 2 before updating this thread haha. Its buy new, or wait 2-3 months till I gather up a few quid.

I called Belfast Honda today.

£2899 OTRP
£99 deposit
48 months of £66.62
6.9% APR.

Theres a deal on eBay at the minute for

£349 deposit
24 months of £106
0% APR.

Might see if they can match it. Or if i can convince my dad to go halfers on a used one! Not keen less its 0% really.

Yep, its a radiator.

Apparently it developed a fuel leak and burnt to the ground, but the builder has bought another Panigale to have a 2nd crack at it. The details should be in the Facebook link but I'm not on there so can't confirm.
