Default Insurance renewal - expensive!

Mine dropped into the inbox this morning, so did the obligatory checking around a few comparison sites to see whether I'm being fingered or not.

Holy sh*t - what's happened out there?!

The best I can find online is well over double what I've been paying for the last 4 years since I bought the bike.

Bonkers - absolutely bonkers!

Default Re: Insurance renewal - WTF!!??

Doesn't make sense, due to these equality laws bought in the average males insurance has decreased where as ladies insurance has gone up. I know mine dropped by over £100 when I renewed in February.

What so none of your circumstances have changed and the cheapest you can find is double your renewal?

Something not right there. How much are we talking if you don't mind me asking?

I always find my bike insurance very reasonable. My best quote for renewal this month was £82 fully comp for a 150bhp litre sportsbike. Unfortunately I can't apply no-claims to two bikes so the cheapest quote on the other bike was £190. Still I get both insured for £272 so I don't think that's too bad. It's about the same as I pay every year and less than I pay for either car.

Sure it wasn't breakdown insurance they sold you?

Similar circumstances when I was 30, 7 years ago cost over £500.
