Insurance for brand new shotgun 650

[loumay1978]

Hi I am Lou a new member we have just bought a new shotgun 650 but are having issues getting insurance sorted as the bike is so newly registered but also many insurers don’t recognise the model yet. Has anyone else had this problem? and can anyone recommend an insurer? Thank you and safe riding everyone x

Insurance underwriters can generate a rate quote once they have the needed info.

My advice is get as much spec info as possible from factory sources to your agent right away.

I bought my Shotgun this week. The only problem I had (Progressive Insurance) was the insurance co. listed the bike as a ‘25 model. When I told them it was a ‘24, they had to do a manual correction.

Are you using comparison sites in which case a direct approach to individual company may be better.
I & others I ride with are getting favourable quotes with Hastings at present (but we are old farts) otherwise try Bennetts as a large/established broker

Be patient remember the clone on the phone has to read off of a scripted screen as thinking outside the box isn't allowed

Thank you everyone, we have spoken to a few direct, and now just have to wait until after the bank holiday as it’s been referred to get the model manually added by an underwriter, appreciate everyone’s help xx

Yes I'm in UK, I bought a new Shotgun in April and only Lexham would insure it. All the comparison site came back with no quotes.
