Just renewed myself Swinton last year renew price £230 had a look on web and got it for £120 through AXA excess £600. Do these insurance companies think I'm not going to use the compare sites? Didn't give Swinton the chance to re quote, if they could reduce the price which I'm sure they can then they were ripping me off in the first place. Always shop around for best deal

 :)Hi Guys, I am new to this site picking up my GTR next Tuesday 58reg Black one. Shopping around for insurance was surprised to find it was only £145 fully comp for a group 17 bike with a £250 excess. This is with Bennets, from past experience first year cheap, following year big hike in price. Then time to switch company. As others have said shop around.

Lockers, welcome along to the form and congratulations on the pending purchase of the GTR. You have got a great deal there with Bennets, I was with them but they hiked my renewal quote up to £400+ I think it was from memory. I aint paying that much!
As you have said it was probably a sneaky introductory teaser, how many years no claims discount do you have if you dont mind me asking?

[Lockers]

Hi Loanwolf, thanks for the welcome. I have 9 years no claims bonus with no convictions etc.

[Lonewolf]

9 years, that'll be why you have such an attractive quote, I'm only at 5 yrs.  :'(

I've just renewed with Adelaide. Just under £20 more than last year and they have confirmed that the business cover does include escort work on non British Cylcing events such as charity cylce events and athletics (full and half marathons etc). They were also happy about my strobe lighting (as long as they are not blue!).

I have just started the process of playing one broker off against the other, 8) I honestly think the insurance companys are pretty much all the same as regards the cover offered but the broker mark ups vary wildly :o . As we all know it does seem like you get a better deal if you change brokers every year as to get your business they do seem to offer tempting quotes in the first year. My best quote so far is from "Bike team" at £226 with 9 years ncb  1 sp30 :'( ::) inc legal cover, but I'm sure I can better that. I'll keep you updated ;D

I'm down to £294 for 2 bikes with Dial Direct 8 years no claims, IAM, 50 years old, Area "C" garaged. Awaiting a callback from Adelaide (0289 0332111).

Hello Lockers ... nice to have you on board old fruit .... I too am with Bennets and have always found them to be very good .... I hunted around earlier this year just to see if I could better them when the Gtr was still in the box and they came back as the best quote by a country mile  ;D
