I had the same shock with this year's renewal so I searched for compare motorcycle insurance on google and there are loads of compare the market type sites for bikes. I got mine down to £87 and that wasn't the cheapest but gave me the things I need foreign travel protect NCB etc I think the site I used was bikeinsurance.co.uk
Happy form filling!!

Sometimes insurers will offer a better price if you go to them as a "new" customer, rather than accepting their renewal quotes.

Post by: DryRob on 16 July 2012, 08:30:57 am: I've just renewed, the price I was offered was the same as anything I could find after a quick look round on the compare sites even with my mods added in so I took it. Don't know how or why but my base premium went up despite having an extra year no claims bonus, bastids.

Post by: steeeve66 on 16 July 2012, 10:09:33 am: I was with MCE and the premium doubled at my last renewal, service was pretty dreadful too and i'll not bother with them again. I'm with Bennets now at a fraction over what my original MCE price was. I have 3 bikes on my policy tho which, obviously, does make a difference.

Post by: Lazarus on 16 July 2012, 10:23:00 am: havent managed to protect my no claims yet (had a claim for the last 2 years although the last was no fault)

when i came to renew last year, i had an open claim. they put my insurance up to £752 (bastards) which i refused to pay and SORNd the bike instead.

once the claim was settled, i used comparethemarket to find a quote for £220 which include EU cover, Helmets and leather cover, roadside recovery, legal protection and life cover. this was CHEAPER than the previous year.

can i got a cuddly toy from Compare the market too :)
