I'm with MCE and was quoted something nuts like £170 for a years insurance on my Fazer 600 through gocompare. I thought that was pretty outstanding considering my age, although I do have quite a few years no claims. I phoned them up anyway and he explained that quote was just an absolute base quote with no perks whatsoever. I can't really remember the conversation because it was a few months ago, but I did agree with him that the quote was crap so ended up paying closer to £300 and getting everything thrown in. So legal cover, helmet and leathers, way way less of an excess payment that also had some perk such as I wont pay it if blah blah happens, national breakdown and possibly international. Just a much better quote. I also got free trackday and NCB protection thrown in. I was happy with the quote and have actually had to use them when my bike was knocked over in a car park and they were pretty good tbh and it was all dealt with 3rd party so I didn't have to pay anything and it didn't effect my no claims. I may go for someone else next time though because they always phone you back like 3 or 4 days after to try and con you out of an extra £10 a month for some "optional extras" which are a load of shite to be honest. They're also currently trying to sue some bloke who sold someone his bike, but forgot to cancel his policy on it afterwards, because the guy who bought the bike died on it a few days later and had no insurance. Not really sure how that's fair.
