Seconded. Or possibly Thirded or Fourthed by now.

I was going to post them but Stu was quicker off the mark.

My experiance in brief:
Very sceptical of this sort of thing but thought I would give it a go. Didn't have a bike to insure but just ran some sample details though to get an idea. It came back with some reasonable quotes and when I tested of the links though to the actual insurers site it was all present and correct.
Got to point of needing insurance. Hadn't found anything better than the quotes on thebikeinsurer.co.uk but couldn't remember who it had been with. Ran the quote system again, putting in that days date. Before I could print the results off I had a call on my mobile, one of the insurers wanting to do me a better deal. Spent a chunk of time on the phone with them and they knocked their quote down by £75 (27%) whilst upping the cover to give what I thought was a very good deal, certianly paid less than I expected when I was considering getting the bike.

Try e bike on the web - dont come much cheaper and they appear to be very popular with Orgers - fortunately I can't comment on their claims record :)
I have 2 bikes on one policy for £122 - one SV650 K1 and a 02 reg run around 50cc scooter - both fully comp.

i was with ebike for my K6 - however although the renewal was only £170 i thought id look around - and low and behold - got a quote from bennetts for the princely sum of £102 - all fully comp.

MCE for me, but they have something of a habit of getting details wrong, so read the policy documents very carefully when they arrive!

E bike worked out best for me. As for claims processing. Very quick and had the cheque about a fortnight after the off. No arguing about value as they were very generous in their valuation.

[GSXR Carlos]

Motorcycle direct were good for me

Stu,

If we ever meet up at a rideout, I'll buy you a pint.

My insurance on my Speed Triple for the last couple of years has been about £1,300 a year (£112 a month) due to a few points on my license and having had a bike stolen. So this year I decided to try to reduce that. I got a few quotes on the net - ebike and Carole Nash both quoted around £650. Then I saw your post and tried thebikeinsurer.co.uk. The best quote on there was £585. Then one of the brokers that thebikeinsurer.co.uk uses gave me a ring. They're bikenet insurance http://www.bikenetinsurance.co.uk and we were on the phone for about an hour whilst they tried to get me a better quote. Eventually they managed to get me a quote for £479 from Equity Red Star. That's a saving of a massive £865 over last year :D

So thanks very much for the tip, and thanks to bikenetinsurance for working to get me such a good quote.

I'm a very happy bunny, er goat, at the moment.

[Stu]

£865 in beers for me! woo hoo that's a P*** up. Don't know what you're so happy about it hasn't saved you anything - just redirected your money!


:lol:
:thumbsup: I'm really glad for you - I'm with Equity red star as well & they've handled my claim well too boot (hope you're comprehensive, but don't need it)

[kwak zzr]

best to ring as many as possible, what might be a good quote for someone might not be good for you, oh i'm with MCE by the way:)

[Oli]

Equity Red Star just did me £366 fully comp, 11 months licence held, 0 NCB, ungaraged in London. That was through motorcycle direct.

[Professor]

I have just used www.thebikeinsurer.co.uk (http://www.thebikeinsurer.co.uk) and it helped to reduce my
annual renewal premium (comprehensive) from £124.50 to £100.52.:thumbsup:

[ljharmitt]

for me at 17, motorcycles direct, the bike insurer, bennetts, and e bike are all around the same for tpft

[tomjones2]

E-bike,

cheap, multi-bike polices, can manage it all on the net in your own time + easy to get on the phone, 365 days euro cover.

[yorkie_chris]

I wouldn't touch bennetts again, not with a long stick, they wanted to charge me £1100 extra (on top of £700) for putting a can on the bike!

No thanks!

[Brian]

I'm with E-Bike, they worked out cheapest for me.

I was going to go for Carol Nash, but they do not insure modified bikes to my knowledge.

[Stu]

To my knowledge C. N. insure Northwind's bike. Nuff said?

[Pedro68]

I'm with e-Bike (on the recommendation of a friend/neighbour). They were cheapest, and as someone else has said, you can manage your policy/policies online - dead simple. Wanna change just about anything about your policy, and you can do it online, then you print your own Insurance Policy Note! I think they will also post a copy to you also.

As for making a claim ... I think they tend to be like a lot of insurers ... I found them a little difficult to get hold of on the phone, and I found I did have to keep on top of them, and keep chasing them, but overall, I'm happy with them so far.

Pete

[Brian]

To my knowledge C. N. insure Northwind's bike. Nuff said?

But it's states on the assumptions page "All vehicles: have not been modified".
Though it does say a bit further down that, "if the above assumptions are not applicable to you then we may still be able to offer a competitave rate etc".

Can't see the point in them stating that they won't insure a modified vehicle if they do, they should change that, they just lost out on my business lol.

[yorkie_chris]

Nonononono yes

They just won't give an online quote for modifications, you have to talk to them
