thaicbr Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Ok i plan on buying an older motorcycle circa 1991 and would like to have 1st class insurance. I believe that is impossible on bikes older than 10 years. but i would like to know if you can get 2nd class with an agreed value say 90,000baht. any info would be appreciated.

Yes, we are rather surprised nobody has jumped in here - the answer from ourselves is obviously a 'no' to most makes apart from HD's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaicbr Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 OK the 1st question that bounces around in my head is WHY are Harleys different. why can you get it on Harleys but not other makes. seems very strange! Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaivisaInsurance Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Ah, the mysteries of Thailand – or rather the Underwriters No, seriously it is because the repairs on HD's are a know quantity and controllable whereas if the insurance companies offered cover to any age or make of import they would not be able to A) control the prices of the parts and have sufficient approved repair shops to cater to the different makes.

BigSnake Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Yes you can get decent Insurance, please check with the folks at The Viriyah Insurance Company, phone:02641 3500-79. They use their little to determine the value of your bike and go from there. I would to check several companies and go with the very best insurance you can afford, I did and man I'm glad I did, that's another story so I will stop it here. Best of luck. Happy riding, maybe I will see you in Pattaya next month for the Annual Bike Show or should I say SHOWOFF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they figure after two years the bike is a write off and not worth insuring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a load of nonsense – contact Thai Visa Insurance and they will offer you quotations for 1st (comprehensive) and 2nd (Third party, Fire & Theft) cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
