    Been with bemoto for a few years now, They are starting to show true colours now . I have muti bike policy every year it goes up £100, never make a claim nothing changed on information. Give them a ring , we have given you the best price is the answer.Go on other conprarsion website put same information in up to£200 cheaper, So they lose another customer.

    I stayed with BeMoto this year. Could have got cheaper but without some of the extras and normally with a higher excess.

    I have no loyalty to any Insurance company though and so I always make sure autorenewal is disabled and get other quotes come renewal time.

    Maybe a bit late to chime in, I did a Go compare for the Streetfighter with Ducati insurance coming in quite expensive. I phoned them and they beat every other quote.

    comparison sites are just easy but not always the best quote,in my experience an always be bettered.

    also from experience, cheapest isn’t always the best but will only find that out like I did when you need to claim.

    Just changed my address on my policy with Bennetts and they wanted £130 !!!! It felt more like a re quote, but I said.....I dont want a new quote, just to inform you of a change of address, still £130!!!!:mad:

    In comparison, I also had to change my address on my car insurance with Swinton......£15 for mid term ammendment o_O

    They make it up as they go along :rolleyes:

    Bennett’s were the cheapest for ages so always went with them, when I had a non fault accident they didn’t even want to pay the 99 quid for the police report that showed the driver had been charged at the roadside with dangerous driving, due care and attention and threatening behaviour (standing over me while I was paralysed with back injury shouting get up shit happens every day) had to do all the donkey work myself.

    shit company when you really want them, wouldn’t go near them again

    We have to remember that insurance companies are out to make a profit and are not our friends no matter how big or small the quote is. I used to think the manufacturer's own policies were best, I had a Honda one for ages, but they're not much different from the general commercial types. In my experience the "specialist" ones that advertise mainly for bikes, or bike only, are generally underwritten by companies I've never heard of which doesn't bode well. It's often sadly a game of pick one you think you can trust and change when or if it goes tits up with a claim, although reading stuff on White Dalton sometimes it seems a fight will get what you're deserved. Insurance companies legal cover seems to be worse than chocolate teapots.

    I'm with BikeSure, last year it was £408 for the fireblade and KTM950SM, it auto renewed while i was in hospital, fortunately, and it was only £308

    I didnt shop around, since I was in a coma for a couple of weeks and in hospital for 9 weeks, so, for once, I was glad that it auto renewed

    The car insurance did something similar, came down about a ton without me doing anything

    I do but it's only because they are the best quotes at the time of renewal plus you always get a 10% off @ sportsbikeshop through MCN .
    Was quoted more for multi bike
