    On a serious note, to bring the thread into line, I note that https://www.defaqto.com/insurance-brokers/star-ratings/
    offers no ratings for Motor Cycle insurance. Would be interesting to see, but we cannot be guided by car insurers who might also offer bike insurance.

    I now use BeMoto exclusively and have found them to be reliable and with good value. However, there is no mention of the broker on the defaqto website.;)

    Thanks @Stuish . I didn't notice that in my brief look.

    Having studied their 'methodology' ( https://www.defaqto.com/our-methodology/?id=53080 ) I always wonder if these reports can be skewed by assessors' personal preferences/experiences and or cash under the table. In rating the various companies' features and benefits together with 'core criteria' it might not take into account the hidden non-benefits of mid-term adjustments which have hit me and other MCE (to name just one) policy holders.

    My view is that if @Old_boy65 is contemplating policy renewal for a bike, be guided by the many insurance threads on this forum rather than a third party group.;)

    What surprises me in that list, is Carole nash. Both five star and one star, depending on the level of cover provided.

    Yep I noted that. They have always come back to me with the most expensive, so was struck from my list.

    Makes two for Bemoto

    A tad under £500 for my old 1299s and ZZR 1400 performance sport, and only £40 increase to swap over to the SP2, solely due to the vale of the bike.
