Correct, in short.

Moreover, not all insurance cos. hike the premium: some simply make a note and say that they won't pay out for the replacement cost of Termis in the event of an accident, but don't actually raise the premium. I seem to remember some posting on here that Ducati Insurance took that approach. Ask / shop around - and do report back.
