I always take out bike specific insurance because I know of the immense cost to get repatriated. Irrespective of fault , the costs have to met at the time.When you think of the potential injury you can suffer through no fault of your own, you have to be covered.
I also had a shock when I found out that for 2 yrs in the previous decade, I had relied on my de facto NatWest med policy , only to find out they restrict bikes to 125 cc!..and exclude anyone who has ever had any accident on a bike, irrespective of fault. Effectively excluding most more mature bikers from cover !..since then I have used Mci every year .
MCi will do it even if you don't book their tours , cost around £80 for both bike and medical. Last 2 yrs my bmw warranty included full euro breakdown, but that expires in June, and I was considering taking fazer, hence my enquiry.
Your experience is worth considering by anyone who baulks at cost of insurance cover....but we can still hunt around for best deals.
