Just joined and a bunch of welcome and 'weird' comments coming through! I put a deposit on a 2010 on saturday and never thought about insurance. I have BMW cover on my 2010 1200GSA and as they say "add another BMW for only £5 per £k", I didn't consider a second bike a big deal...haha BMW (Devitt) won't insure another make on the same policy, OK can I go on the multi-policy through Devitt?.... certainly Sir........ oops no, underwriters won't cover your 2 bikes.... too expensive... take out 2 policies Searching the web for multi-bike quotes I have come up with EBike £459,Bennetts £531, C/Nash £598. Lost the will to live typing all the details in, no comparison sites seem to deal with 2+bikes. Anyone used EBikes? Got any good suggestions to try? P.S. if anyone can get the tune for GoCompare out of my head I'll gladly buy you a pint. yours sincerely Confused.com of Lancashire
I'm with Bennetts at the moment. Just added my blackbird to my policy with the blade and it cost all of £34 fully comp
Tell me about it. I was all set for around £200, but all they do is add it to the existing policy. I was very pleasantly surprised. Needless to say the girlfriend had the change spent within 2 mins
I am now with Swinton after Carole Nash tried to Rob me. Try just insuring the bike stand alone i have heard that sometimes its cheaper that way (Seems odd but true)
H & R insurance do multibike policies and good prices as well. Also remember if you are looking at 2 separate policies,like your current brokers advised you to, you can only use your accrued ncb on one of the policies.......their advice is very poor imo
I had a similar problem when I changed my rr5, I had to rebroker with Swinton cbr rr11 becomes the lead bike and GSXR k5 the second. cost me a total of 480 for the two. What annoyed me was the fact I only had four months to go to get another years no claims and had to start again. I think I will try Carol Nash next time, they came back with a better offer after I had done the deal with Swinton again. Bennetts I do not trust after there 3 mods scam back in November.
I'll be changing from Bennetts in September when my insurance is up. Carol Nash for me next time also.
That's sort of what I was expecting, even if the premium was a lot more because it's a Blade. My BMW policy is £270 so didn't realise it would be more than double that for adding a second bike. Devitt want £145 more for the BMW as my NCB will have to be used on the Blade and then £330 for the 1000RR using my NCB.
Thanks slowr1der lost the will to type all my details again tonight, will try H&R tomorrow. ( Devitt did say about the ncb and that I would lose it on the BMW as the Blade needed it more.)
Just give them a call chap customer service is really good and i have never been kept waiting on the phone listening to some shite music like most of the companies i had tried/used previously Si
My renewal has just come through the door. Somebody must have said something unpleasant to them about me as it's gone up £50!
It could be they have been reading this forum and concluded that your policy needs loading to the cover mental instability.
interestingly I did a quote today for my blade - out of curiosity to see what price it is now. The 2 best companies were MCE at £428.41 paying by D/D but with a £1100 excess However the next one was Bike Devil Insurance at £462.61 but no excess and interestingly the broker reference for each both begin with MCE suggesting its the same company anyway What is that about ?
Carole Nash for me. I have 3 bikes with them and one (the blade) is heavily modded and agreed value of £12k. the other is a gsxr 1000 k7 the other is a gsxr 750 '99 Think its just about £1k all in. tbh im happy with that - expensive but i am a twat with a bad record... BTW - Bennets are F22k!ng tw@t sh1t kn0b heads - NEVER use them.
Well I finally went with Ebikes, declared all the mods and the 2 bikes came in at £422 comprehensive. No idea if it's a good or bad move and I hope I never have to find out. (Si I did ring H&R was 5th in queue with crap muzak LOL!)
