You've got to phone em all and then keep going round them playing them off against one another. Let them know that you really want to go with them.

I had to sort new insurance when I bought the GS and my previous wouldn't touch multi bike. in the end I went with CN on their Omni policy as I can add the car as well

Fully Comp for GS1150 Adv Value 8500 and Honda VFR value 3500 was £450

This was £30 cheaper than I was paying TPFT for the VFR alone.

I don't understand how they work this stuff out

I still maintain that they pluck a figure out of their **** and double it.
I'm campaigning for the introduction of the death sentence for C.E.O.s of insurance companies, not for any specific crime, just for doing that job.

btw, I pay £800 £350 ex FC for a K4 SV,1 year NCB, no security, no garage, 23 years old, previous car accident, conviction for no insurance, license for almost 1 year.
Looking at car insurance, they want more than that for a small crappy car just for tpft.

I feel sick, they really do just pluck a figure out of the air. There is no consistency between insurers. Some quoted me 700, some 2100.

Who are you with?

Ok I am out in the sticks, with a garage 1 years NCB, Bennets/Equity Red Star.

£163 FC

As the man said. Move, surely that grand you could save would cover your additional commuting costs and prices of accomodation etc would be substantially lower as well

It's not only sensible, it's a must.
Jonboy, if you have an undeclared can on your bike and have a crash, they wont try to prove that the can contributed and they wont even care how much extra power it gave. They'll point to the bit in the policy that sayes 'if you make any modifications you have to declare' and void your policy.

I live in London and park it on the street as well. H&R were by far the best quote I got. That was with no no claims bonus and taking into acount previous claims for a stolen scooter plus stolen cbr600. Think its time to get out of Dodge city!
