Obviously shopping around for insurance makes sense, but just had a result for renewing next week. Been with the same insurer for 10 years, always been competitive, but price hiked in the renewal quote to £359. Looked around and got a like-for-like quote with Motorcycle Direct for £163 (including tax) on my Ducati: fully comp, £400 excess, protected no claims (on 9 years ncb), 30 days European cover, covered for pillions, legal cover, key cover, 3000 annual mileage - based on the bike being kept on a private drive (but not garaged) in Brixton and/or Peckham. Result!
I remember being pretty much uninsurable as a young-un riding superbikes and forking out premiums of around £1500. Growing old less than gracefully has its compensations...
Anyway, shop around folks.
