Motorbike Insurance in Canada

SynchroGS · Jun 24, 2021

Hi all!

I’ve recently moved to Toronto from the UK and having had a water cooled GSA previously I want to buy another here.

If there is anyone else here from Ontario do you have any recommendations regarding insurance brokers or companies please?

Thanks

Phil

i thought in Canada , the State , was the main insurance provider , cos insurance got too expensive , so they took it over.
but i may be wrong.

You could try posting on F800 Rider forum. More international members than here & I know they have some in Canada https://f800riders.org/forum/forum.php

I used State Farm when I lived in Alberta.

Why not try the Adeventure Rider forum https://advrider.com/ (America is much closer to Canada than we are) or Horizons Unlimited https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/

Failing that, just wait until you get there, as no doubt the bod or shop you buy the bike from will know something about it.

We were all set to move to Toronto in 2009 but the financial crisis scuppered our plans

You will probably have to start from scratch with insurance, as in 0 no claims history, I’m pretty sure our friends who live in Vancouver even had to retake their driving tests to get their licenses, hubby didn’t retake his bike license, just car

Toronto may be different, I can’t remember

Good to know, thank you. I’m here now but a lot of the info is conflicting so I’m off to DriveTest next week, which is the Ministry of Transport regional office, so things should be a little clearer regarding the licence situation.
You’re right about no claims though, my 9 years+ counts for zero!

We were fine for one year but then had to take tests (written and actual) for both bike and car.
