I have been with Ducati Insurance for several years. I spent quite bit of time ringing round last year but they were still cheapest. I pay £159 fully comp, from memory. Their quote included about £30 for personal injury insurance which is optional.

I just got a quote from DI: 07 S4RS Comp (inc riding other bikes TPO) 250xs - £210
The renewal from MCE (not inc riding other bikes) was going to be £248.

I have a 696 and got a good quote from e-sure (e-bike) - only problem is everything is done via e-mail - no phone contact so if you have a problem it's tricky to get it sorted there and then.
try carol nash or footman james
both have very sharp pencils

I work for Confused.com on their bike product. Give it a try, I use it every year and get good prices!
And I am constantly adding new companies in the background, so it keeps getting cheaper and cheaper every year!

I have been with Ducati Insurance for 4 years. Each year I try other companies, but they usually match the quote.
This year £300 for myself and my husband, fully comp on 3 bikes - they originally quoted £415 but ebike were cheape and ti insurance matched it.
I haven't signed up for it yet - I can't decide whether I would be better going with e-bike. I don't suppose you know until you try to claim, but I do like the idea of someone being at the end of the phone if I have a query.

I tried confused.com - great for car Insurance. They were £700 cheaper for my daughter!
They don't appear to do multiple bike, multiple rider insurance though.

Glad you got it sorted - I paid £127 FC with Carole Nash, but that was last Sept.
Who did you go with in the end?

Probably the must disliked insurance company amongst us bikers on here, Bennetts, i know a few people have had problems with them, but i havent had a any bad experiences (touching some wood as i speak), even when cancelling policies , changing bikes.
I think i paid £129 last year.... is there anything out there that gets cheaper rather than more expensive ?
