Paid around £560 for my Bandit last year and around £80 on top of that to insure my SV till the policy ran out. On my requote from MCE they where saying £750 with £500 excess (fully comp). Hang on a sec isn't that more than last month.

Right so I went shopping around and got a good qoute from Carol Nash at about £480 with £200 excess and European break down cover for 90days.
I went back to MCE and they gave me a price of £460 with £150 excess and the same breakdown cover.

My main question is has anyone else got any examples of being swindled by insurance companies. Remember if you don't ask you don't get!

did exactly the same on my renewal with the same company,

my policy ended up with the full trimmings (gear cover, breakdown, low excess and all that jazz) and the price was 70 quid cheaper than the original basic quote that they gave me

coincidence eh?

I guess I can always try to think of that as one plus point of getting a bit older It's just a bit of a pain that my car insurance hasn't gone down as I've got older and have more no claims...it's been around £300 for the past 3 years Just can't believe that the bike is so cheaper when I've no experience and the bike is worth around the same as the car... I don't live in a city which probably helps both too...
