They had a subsidiary company underwritten by someone solvent. The price they offered me was good but after the experience I had with their other company I went with Bemoto

Going to Bemoto direct.

Still waiting for my proof of ncb from MCE which was promised 'Within 72 hours' over a week ago. If the refund comments above are anything to go by it'll be a long wait. At least I'm not owed any money, I took a dd and very glad I did.

Not due yet but out of curiosity just got a BeMoto quote for the Busa:-
£157.21 comp for 66 year old in rural Devon or £195.66 with extra breakdown cover, that is with £1000 excess mind (500 compulsory and 500 voluntary) and bike valued at £7k. Those figures become £173.41 and £213.36 with just £600 compulsory excess.

That's just the one bike? Mine is due for renewal at the end of March

Insured through Bikesure, last year for the TL & MV, fully comp. on the same policy, with notional £2k & £7k values respectively and £250 excess for the TL but £450 for the MV, I paid just under £225. That's all mods to both declared (which actually makes the TL harder to insure).

I'm currently with Bikesure. Premium last July was £305 for 3 bikes with modifications declared; Busa, B-King and Fazer. Latter 2 each adding £65 to base premium so Busa alone would have been £175 or £240 for two bikes - with an own fault claim in 2020. So I reckon Bikesure and BeMoto are in the same ballpark for cost.

Just had my proof of NCD, they have robbed me of 6 months too

Also heard they are processing refunds of bike policies this month as they have done the cars and van policies.
So hopefully the cheque will be in the post soon

I finaly got my proof of NCD from MCE last week. Luckily, I'm owed no money by them as was paying by DD and I simply cancelled my payments; for once, I was in the right situation
