Independent Insurance Valuations for VJMC Members

As the official valuation partner for the VJMC and the only independent classic car and motorcycle valuer approved by insurers including Adrian Flux, Classicline, Bikesure, Sterling Insurance, Footman James, Lockton and REIS Motorsport Insurance, our bespoke classic motorcycle valuation reports at maximum market value account for your bike’s history, specification (including any modifications) and current condition. They give the peace of mind required when average eBay prices are simply not enough.

Why commission a bespoke valuation report for insurance?

For classic Japanese bikes that are out of the norm: super rare, very low mileage, above average condition, or modified and upgraded beyond average examples, we offer a bespoke online valuation report that accounts for a bike’s unique qualities. As insurers limit agreed value cover to market value, we do not value at replacement cost (i.e. to rebuild from scratch) but a percentage of replacement tends to play a part in most valuations.

What does it cost and what does it include?

Agreed value insurance reports are valid for two years and cost £65 for bikes up to £25k in value. VJMC members get £10 off classic Japanese bike valuations with the current club discount code as found in the online Member’s Area. All valuation reports are compiled by me in person and your valuation is bespoke to your bike. The reports include:

• A VDI provenance check detailing any previous history of theft, insurance damage, mileage and MOT history
• Details of the subject vehicle and its provenance
• A look at market activity and prices in context
• A bespoke valuation based on your bike’s unique features and market appeal

You must be a current active VJMC club member to use this unique online service. An in-house condition report form is not usually required with our signed valuations. All data is confidential: our parent company Specialist Car Valuations Limited is ICO registered and will never share your details.
