Had a nightmare tonight searching for insurance.
Had to get a move on as my old policy ended tonight at midnight.

Here's some of the results I had searching.

http://www.insurance2000.co.uk wanted ?624
http://www.swinton.co.uk wouldn't give a quote due to modifications
http://www.eliteunderwriting.co.uk wanted ?804
http://www.devittinsurance.com wanted ?762
http://www.biketeam.co.uk never got back to me
http://www.cia-insurance wouldn't give a quote due to modifications
http://www.virginbikeinsurance.co.uk wouldn't give a quote due to modifications
http://www.premiumchoice.co.uk wanted ?664
http://www.expressinsurance.co.uk wanted ?663
http://www.bennetts.co.uk wanted ?804
http://www.mcdbike.co.uk wanted ?525 ! ! ! !

Just to show that it pays to shop around

i couldnt agree more m8, i had a policy with elite 3rdparty ft and it was like 1200quid my new policy is fuly comp and is only 586quid. yay!!!! up the carol knash

I'm with mcdirect never been beaten on price for the last 5 years +

Top company

Motorcycle Direct, cheapest I have ever encountered.

Get yourself a tractor ;) Mines only ?300 with ?100 excess and thats with no "no claims"

im with carol nash, played them off against CIA with their best quotes and managed to knock another ?100 off the best price. I have been warned that Carol Nash are a nightmare to get any money out of in the event of a claim though

Surprised that CIA wouldnt quote due to modifications Dave, they were fine with me and the only original bits of my bike are probably the frame, swingarm and fuel tank

It's different for everyone. I hunted around 20-30 places and found a place called Cofield the cheapest by far, same for Kelly. Other peeps have tried them and got poor quotes.

MCD were good for me, until I had an accident and now they wouldnt touch me.

Cheapest for me at 17 with nsr was ?335 TPFT yay

I was with MCdirect but switched to carol Nash as it was cheaper to insure a 1K with Carole Nash than it was to insure a 750 with Mcdirect.

I think it depends on your circumstance as to who is cheapest for you.

This year bikesure gave me a very low quote for my 1K - ?210 TPF&T. Went back to carol Nash and told them I would drop them if they didnt come down - they instantly chopped ?50 from my renewel charge.

Also if you have a bike insured with Carol Nash worth getting them to quote your car to as they have that omni policy thing....

Their quotes for an alfa GTV Tspark for me where over ?300 cheaper than anyone elses.

Just sorted my renewal with Hastings Direct... ?160 Fully Comp.

Sometimes being middle-aged ain't so bad!

try confused.com they search for u i got mine for 100 quid even though i aint rode a bike for 15 yrs
