Thanks David.

Yes. Suncorp have stated that it doesn’t fit the criteria to be listed under contents insurance. I’m actually surprised that it’s difficult to insure an unregistered motorcycle for fire and theft.

In the light of the recent theft of my TY250C I’ve tried to insure my replacement TY, but so far no one wants to provide fire and theft insurance on an old unregistered ‘off road’ motorcycle. Shannon’s will only insure me if I have other policies with them, which I don’t.
