I bought myself a bobber based on a 84 Virago 750 custom back end and paint with a few things done to it, anyone got any idea of a cheap insurance....

I have got another bike VFR 800 Vtec so maybe someone knows of an insurer who does a block policy?

Tried them before and they were £150 more than the best I had ....... like most insurance companies it seems that its luck as to who you get on the end of the phone at the time.

And you dont know how good an insurance company actually is until you claim.

Theres loads of companies do multi bike policies, having had up to 4 bikes all at the same time myself.

Ring round through the yellow pages

MCE have a VERY VERY bad rep here, lots of BM members have been screwed over by them. I gave MCE the chance to reply to our members' concerns but they didn't bother. Therefore it's our recommendation that you don't touch MCE.

Well I used Bennetts as my broker for the last two years and was insured by Equity Red Star.

When renewal came through this time for both bikes I almost fell over!!!

Called Swinton who have a multi-bike policy and got the same cover for over £200 less!!!!!

Ans guess what? The underwriter is Equity Red Star!!!! Go figure!

As has been said I would phone round and see what you can get because most of the time it's the deal the brokers do that saves the money!!

An example from a friend... 1 Ducati 10yrs old..... bikesure = £240.09 1 Ducati 10yrs old, 2 kawasaki zx10, 1 suzuki gsxf... footman james = £275.46 Try them all, pain in the rear, but worth shopping around!!

Remember it's not just the price guys... read the small print, try contacting customer services, etc etc. Carol Nash were always fantastic for me once I reached 21. Before I was 21 they wouldn't even touch me

Hello Johnny, Have you tried confused.com? I’ve recently been ripped off by Adelaide Insurance who are affiliated with the IAM. Most would think in theory for advanced riders would gain cheaper insurance. This was not the case. It turns out Bennetts through confused.com were £67 cheaper!
