I used to use Bike Team supposedly run by bikers for bikers who were always the cheapest but last year they got brought out and -- you guessed it £100 extra. When I complained they came down by about £20 and said that was it because that was their minimum cost for cover, FOC off said I.
Bennets for me has never been the cheapest but there were this time, I wonder if they have had a drive to get more bikers, then ramp the renewals up.

Im telling you the whole -big increase on renewals thing is the next PPI especially with the auto renews. Everyone who has paid more than they should of done after an auto renew should be compensated for the last 5 years. 

When I had to renew my 600 insurance last year before I got my 1000 which was with bennetts it went from £68 a year fully comp to £145 so I phoned bennetts and they told me they'd been taken over by saga plc and they couldn't get it any cheaper so I went with motorcycle direct at £85 then when I phoned them to change to my 1000 they said they wouldn't allow changes so I'd have to start a new policy at £550 for the year. I told them to foc off and got a meerkat quote and foc me bennetts were cheapest for the 1000 at £155 fully comp but I could only use my ncd on one bike so I cancelled the 600 policy ( 3 months left ) and went with bennetts then re insured the 600 with bennetts ( cheapest again WTF ) for £130 ( cheaper than my renewal with the ncd but now without ) saving £275 it took about an hour of quotes and phones calls but that's what I think they bank on that you can't be arsed to get other quotes and spend the time.
Also did you know that in many cases if you have a NON FAULT accident your insurance premiums go up how the foc can that be and if it's non fault why should you be penalised for it

Yeah, penalising people for no fault of their own is just scandalous.
