Price is more than generous from an insurance point of view. Mint or not. Sorry to hear about the theft.
There was no chance a 2005 bike is worth �4000

hi tony, when i bought it 2 yrs ago for �3600 thought insure it for �4000 ????? just seems like im losing out on a �1000 somewhere and not just de-valuation.......when some shops are still selling same kind now for �3850 ????? i feel ripped off somehow.......im paying extra to insure for �4000 and only getting �2250 in return......just does not add up at all ?????? ray

SteveD has been through this particular task recently, maybe he can offer some advice ?
Personally, I'd be looking around locally to find a bike of similar setup/condition and asking the last person to service it for a statement on it's condition. Then you have your valuation. I'd take the line that I insured to replace the bike, and so that would be my minimum acceptance. I'd also give them a time frame to come to a solution before I went off to the solicitors, and I'd tell them in writting what I would do. Pretty much I'd take a hard, none deviating line with them and leave them in no doubt that I was serious. Remember though, above all, be nice to them, but firm!

I have never understood why people over insure stuff. It's a fight to get what you think it's worth. Try your best to get what you think it's worth but be ready for a fight. Its my opinion it's a lot of hassle for very little return.
That's why I am third party only. If mine got stolen I would not claim. I am only insured on the very minimum to be legal. When I insure stuff I insure it for exactly what I paid. Usually insurance pay out the market value hence your offer less excess.

prob is when you insure anything and it does get stolen you will only get book value so if you insure for what you paid for it you wont get that back

�2800 for a 2005 XTX is a good price, surprised their initial offer was that high if anything.
