I called my agent with Samsung insurance today to renew my insurance for my Daystar 125.

This will be my 3rd year with the company. Last year I paid about 160,000 for the year. When I called the agent today she quoted me a price of 220,000!!

I've never had an accident and while I understand the rates increase every year, that seems like a rather large increase to me. Is this woman trying to rob me?

I'm curious what other riders here are paying. Does this seem like a normal rate compared to what you pay?

Two years ago I was paying 110,000 won a year for insurance for my 125cc. The bike was 14 years old however, but less than 10,000 kms.

Thanks for the reply. As the woman doesn't speak English at all, and when I originally began the policy, the footwork was done by my professor at the time(her son was one of his patients) I am not even sure if the coverage I have is comprehensive or only liability.

I just wonder if she is giving me an inflated quote because I am a foreigner and she wants to make a slightly larger commission.

Check "the official motorcycle/scooter thread" for more info in off-topics.


A 250cc cruiser will run you 200,000-250,000 a year. Prices went up from 150,000 last year due to some new gov't regulation, but you do get more insurance with that new price.
