Went on the mcn compare site and got a quote from mce for £100  :onya: but I've just read on the org that they are terrible to deal with  :rolleyes: what do you do  :confused1: I read someone on here got fully comp from Bennets for £85 ,do they have their bike locked up with the crown jewels !! Any advice welcome on this confusing insurance lark  ???

MCE - wouldn't touch with a bargepole. I insured mine once with them, cancelled after 10 days after they couldn't tell me what mods I had fitted (which I had read out to them on th ephone and they had charged me for). Then the guy said had I had an accident the bike would have been put back to standard anyway. Friggin hopeless.

I'm with CN at present but will probably be swapping to eBike at my next renewal, CN are starting to get just a little too expensive these days

Try Be-Moto, I just insured with them fully comp with cover for everything on 3 bikes for £252, that's ride someone else's bike, full breakdown, European cover, protected no claims, legal and helmet and leathers cover. That's £84 a bike.

I got my renewal through a couple of days ago, from £106 to £127+£20 arrangement fee(?????) So I rang them, and they wouldnt budge, so onto a comparison site and £127 all in, same cover, all extra's declared, so Bennetts can go whistle.

Insurance here has gone up a lot. Full comp $468.00 plus $500 excess for the 14
But house and contents cover has increased because we seem to have a few floods and earthquakes. Insurance companies dont like them. They are mongrels too. There are some people who didnt accept theiroffer that are still waiting 6 years on for a resolution...... lot of shoddy repairs are now starting to come to.light also.

Due to the massive increase in bike theft in certain parts of the country, insurance premiums are rocketing up.
I know of a lad in London that had a 125 stolen. When he enquired about insuring a new one his premium had gone from £600 up to £3000.

He gave up riding as a result.
