    i had to pay about £395 with the mods declared - HM QS, Bodywork, Brembo, briaded lines, can etc.
    Found it very difficult to get any quotes under the £600 mark -
    With MCE watch for the 'admin fees' if you make a mid term change, no matter how small its £50 I think.

    biggest problem with MCE is their idiots and they cant resist trying to sell you extras after youve taken a policy!
    just say no and they seem ok

    Fez, i had the same last year, not because of my youthful appearance, but because they weren't insuring litre sports bikes. I swapped over, and got it for half the price anyway, so alls good.

    insurance companies = knobs of the highest order.

    Just got insured through Swinton Bikes. Both bikes fully comp protected for £370.
    Always end up with different insurers every year.

    whats annoying is how they give you a shite renewal price so you go online arse about getting the best quotes then the tossers invariably match it.......!

    They just expect some customers to say ok to the renewal as the can't be asrde to check for a better quote.
    When I get my renewal in I always phone them up and get them to improve it or I go elsewhere. Only once has it turned out to be the cheapest quote though.
    It's a pain to have to do it every year :(

    I was with Bennetts (not recommended) who had me fecked about all year with grief about added accessories I spent most of my time wondering if I was even covered! Their renewal came through at..... Wait for it....£370 :mad:. So did the Internet two step and signed up with mce for 180, with more cover than I had previously including Europe, kit, legal , breakdown and a weeks holiday with Scarlett Johansson . Okay made up the last bit, but you get the point.... Greedy feckers all IMHO.
