After getting some horrendous quotes as a new-to-ontario rider, scotialife have come to the party.
I've never had insurance in Ontario, but I just got Comprehensive cover on my 916 for $524 a year.

Great premium, all things considered!

That's a crazy rate in today's market, about half of what I've been quoted for my 998, and I have a clean record with 30 years experience and continuous motorcycle insurance. Is it Scotialife Financial, a division of Scotiabank? Their web site doesn't have any options for motorcycle quotes. Do you have to call in for a quote? Is it conditional on having other insurance with them?

Yes, it was with Scotialife Financial. I also have my car insured with them, but they do offer standalone motorcycle insurance as far as I'm aware. You have to call them.
I wasn't aware they offered bike insurance either.... had tried to get cover through a broker but it was really tough work.
Initially was only trying to get Liability cover, but Comprehensive was only $100 more a year, so figured I'd be crazy not to.

Wow, really glad you posted! $650 for my 998 and $475 for my Hawk GT ($1M liability, comprehensive, but no collision, Mississauga address), compared to $1000 and $650 for the same coverage elsewhere.

Nice- make the switch.

They must have hardly any claims from riders to keep premiums so low. Long may that be the case ?

Well, it was good while it lasted.... scotia life moving away from insurance so no more cheap bike premiums.

Hagerty don't offer motorcycle insurance in Canada, unfortunately.

All good, got a great rate with Desjardins.
