hey everyone can any of you recommend good cheap insurance companies as i am getting ridiculous quotes would be very much appreciated xx                                                                                                                                                                             

 try ebike and mce i got my speed trip and vtr with mce get breakdown,helmet amd leather cover and dont pay any excess and i pay £230 for both bikes fully comp  when i was with ebike had 6 bikes gs1000,zxr1100,zx10,gsxr1100 lowrider,gs750 and gixxer750 all fully comp for £325                                                                                                                                                                              

  Once you have insurance, whichever company/broker you choose, when you get your policy check the details are correct; cos if you should need to make a claim at any time, and the details are incorrect your cover could be invalid.    Another thread on the same topic, may be helpful to you VM  http://www.bikermatch.co.uk/sites/bm/forum/posts.asp?to...c_id=11792                                                                                                                                                                             

How much is ridiculous?
My work colleagues 18 year old son is paying £2500 tpf and t on a 1996 Fiesta which the insurer values at £120........
Mine is reasonable due to various factors-
Garage with ground anchor,cctv,alarm etc.
Old fart rider (44)
On a classic policy as a 2nd bike
VJMC member
Car owner (makes bike a 2nd vehicle)
Full licence for 23 years.

Despite a bike theft claim (nicked during a burglary last xmas) mine is £280 fully comp,not bad for 2 bikes including a Honda Blackbird.

If you can squeeze a few of them in you might better quotes,can't recommend the bike theft though,my car insurance went up from £600 to £1100 due to the theft claim.

carole nash wants 1164 for tpft on a cg 125 1993 its rediculous                                                                                                                                                                              

that is a bit steep,from memory my (borrowed) cb125tdc cost around the 150 mark,that was in 1989 though! Didn't pay much more for a 901cc+ rider policy after passing my test in 1990 come to that.                                                                                                                                                                              

 You might know this,just incase tho,clear your browser history if you use the interweb for getting quotes,your ip addy is remembered, better off phoning. Good luck                                                                                                                                                                              

thank you :D                                                                                                                                                                             

try ebike i ve been with them for 3yrs with a multi bike policy and they are half the price of big names insurance                                                                                                                                                                              

I'm with Hastings. First year third party f&t was £350 second year it's dropped down to £150 that includes helmet and kit cover.                                                                                                                                                                              

Ebike are pretty good I have a multi bike policy with 3 bikes and they were hundreds less than all the others..,

One thing grips me is my biggest bike is 1300cc and I will only ride one at a time but it does push it right up having a few bikes on there...

I went through Bennetts, fully comp (including helmet and kit cover) £500 ish for Honda CBF500.  Expensive but still the cheapest out there for me and I am getting on a bit.    No quarter given for age as a newbie.       should (hopefully) go down this year.   RB                                                                                                                                                                               

problem with insurance is  it depends very much on your postcode age and what you ride so asking others isnt necessarily gonna get YOU a good deal.   Try MCN compare, MCE (their customer service is crap hence they are cheap!), you mentioned Carole Nash (they used to be cheapest for me but no longer) i am with Adelaide (dont know if they deal with the rest of the UK), Bennetts are cheap for some (but they have to pay for bsb sponsorship somehow) try Devitt (they were cheap for me after a claim when no one else would touch me)   the main thing is shop around and dont just go off price.                                                                                                                                                                             

thank you everyone will check them out xx                                                                                                                                                                             

BeWise always works for me but it pays to do a annual check, loyality counts for nought nowadays.                                                                                                                                                                              

I've had three insurance companies in as many years. I shop around every year as you can get up to 25% off for new business discount.
ATM I'm with Carole Nash as I get free AA recovery, free 'Smartwater'
plus all the usual extras. Fully Com.p on my BMW R1150R costs me £163. The AA cover and the Smartwater alone would be just over £100 so the insurance really only costs me £63....That's a figure I can live with ( BUT they won't insure my trike!!)                                                                                                                                                                              

Was with Bennetts last year and then when they quoted £560 for this year (or £800 if I wanted to protect my 1 year no claims) I shopped around and saved over £250 and am now with Hastings. I have fully comp and add ons so its more expensive than the basic quotes I got through MCN but it still a whole lot cheaper this year.

Can any 1 advise on gd insurance companys would be greatfull                                                                                                                                                                              

do all the compare sites ebike have come up with the best deal last 3 year. best of luck
