Impossible to give you anything accurate with insurance companies being so finicky(?) these days, but my missus paid just under a hundred quid for hers, fully comp, but she is 50, bike garaged, and lots of no claims. The Bike Insurer claims to guarantee to beat any quote, and Bennetts are pretty good too - avoid Swinton cus they will mercilessly rip you off.

I hope it gives you as much pleasure as it gave the wife over the years!

Yeah I'm with Swindon on my Honda they are a pain in the arse if I remember rightly bennetts said it would be about £90 for my Honda cbf500 last year so the buell might not be too bad fingers crossed

Give EBike a try. I've just spent a few days getting a multibike policy and they were by far the best.

Be aware that the policy doesnt cover you third party on other bikes, other than that it seems ok.

see if approved chains & locks will lower your quote ?

or if you have the space , see if secured in a shed would
lower the quote ?

:yt: I'm 104, and I pay £200 at Carol Nash, and includes all the above. They're easy to deal with, and you speak to sensible, non-bullshitting people too.

I've been (claim free) with CN for the last 12 years, and have found them to be just the opposite - I'll be dealing with Adrian Flux next time (in fact they've just insured my Impreza for half what CN quoted :roll: )
Getting back to bikes, last January, CN doubled my bike renewal quote (£900 :shock: ) saying the reason was because they had put me with a new company, as Equity Red Star would no longer insure my Duc 1198. I phoned them and politely told them to shove it, and the woman on the phone told me she would look for a cheaper quote than they had given me and lo and behold, she came up with a figure just £20 more than their quote for the previous year. I pointed out that I was very upset about this because I was paying them, as a Broker, to get me the best quote they could in the first instance :x . I got a load of bollocks about how insurance rates change daily and they could only quote the figure that came out their computer. When I asked who this new cheaper company was, it turned out to be Equity Red Star again!
After venting about how a company as large as CN was either being incompetent or dishonest about doing what I pay them to do, I told them that next January, my computer would be saying 'NO' :!:

All our bikes are insured with MCE Insurance. Do a quote through them and see what they come up with...??

Last week I got multi-bike insurance with eBike after seeing reccomendations on here, for not much more than I was quoted elsewhere for the 1125R alone. You can do it all online yourself.

Thanks everyone for your valuable advice managed to get multibike insurance through bennetts cost a bit more than I thought but considering its fir two bikes and I d haven't been riding too long it's not too bad, that's what happens I suppose when you get the bike of your dreams just a shame they said you can't have multibije insurance and multiple riders I.e me and my father in- law
