Hi guys, my first post and unfortunately I've had the wind knocked out my sails regards 215 insurance. I'm due to pick up a 1 year old ST3 in molten orange which I'm rather excited about but astonished that the only quote I could get so far is double the amount of a standard st. I'm a ripe old age of 52 and don't understand the problem. I even had 2 company's refuse me. What exactly am a meant to say to the insurance regards the upgrade? My understanding is it's an engine re map, pushing the bhp to 215, an air filter and air box. When they ask what the original bhp is they almost gasp and tell me that's quite an increase.

I fully understand this may have been discussed before but if any one could give me some up to date advice I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks Rob.
