I too have struggled with the insurance question.

I tried MCE and they quoted me a ridiculous £1100. They then pestered me with phone calls trying to reduce it but then only got to around £700.

Eventually, I went back to eBike with whom I already have a multibike policy. Took off one of my SORN bikes (which is in pieces for this year anyway) and replaced it with the the 1199S. The result was £180 (of which £30 is the admin cost I believe) for the remaining 11months of the policy.

Good result.

MCE have continued to call me every day despite being told I now have insurance. VERY ANNOYING.

He is 52 and lives in Otterburn. He said they were the cheapest but are a pain to deal with. Every time he calls them they seem to want £30+ for 'changes' to the policy.

Panigale "S" Insurance ????
 

E-mail from E-Bike = "underwriters won't entertain"
Bollox, scour internet for quotes, £9000 odd pounds ! :lol:

"I'll speak to underwriters again - ring you back"
Meanwhile = Ducati insurance quote on-line = £577 for 12 months = RESULT me thinks !
Bike insurer rings, tell him I've got a quote on-line, and I tell him (well - nearly the right figure) :rolleyes: what it is, the thump of his jaw dropping could be clearly heard,
Equity red star - £570, comp etc, "can I ring you back" ?
Of course you can - but not with a silly quote
End result, 15 month policy, legal,breakdown,helmet + leathers,courtesy bike,90 day Europe cover, £566-36p
I'm convinced these insurance companies all belong to the "society of Robbin Hoods" (or *******s) more like !
