MCE for me also. 748 comp was £168 last year and Louise's M750 was £98 comp. :eek:

Fairly certain I'm with Motorcycle Direct - found them using thebikeinsurer.co.uk.

Before that I was with MCE. Ducati Insurance have never come up with a competitive quote for me :(

Just switched to MCE after being with CN for over a decade.

848 + my ER5 commuter on the same TPFT policy. Great deal.

Have been on the phone to MCE this morning, am waiting for them to call me back, so far though its not looking too good as they still have not matched or got lower than Ducati Insurance quote of £855.

As i only returned to the UK in Dec 2009 i only have one years no claims as my German no claims were not accepted :( the bike has Bike-Trac tracker fitted, its locked in a stone Garage i only do around 3,000 miles a year on it and am willing to pay 1,000 excess. so its a joke at £855 it would be a joke at £500. my bleeding limited edition Audi TT Quattro only costs me £250 a year fully comp.

Been with E bike insurance for a few years after leaving carole nash to save a good few Hundred £££. All done online.

Used to have a multibike policy with E bike that basically cost the price of the dearest bike to insure and only a few ££ to add a second bike. Got rid of the second bike (non Ducati) so tried Ducati insurance last renewal time.

On an initial quote ducatinsurance were cheaper at the last renewal by a few £££ but when I looked into a full like for like they weren't any cheaper.

Certainly pays to shop around but the trouble is we tend to buy insurance on price, but only get to find out what sort of customer service we have bought when we have to claim.

Ducati Insurance for me.
Worth shopping around and speaking to each insurer, not just using their online form or comparison sites, to see if your German NCD can be taken in to account... EU rules and all that?

Allways done OK with Ducati Insurance & they paid up when it went wrong.
Anyone taken up MCE's track day cover on top of the road cover?

I think this is probably the best price you will see, your 1198R Bayliss rep is valued at (if its a genuine model) £22,000 or maybe £21,000 most policies have a maximum limit of £15,000 (including Carloe Nash).

I couldn't find anything cheaper than Ducati for my Bayliss, but when I want to add a non Ducati the price is very expensive.

Ducati Insurance valued mine at £28,000, no one else would even look at insuring it, so had to stay with Ducati insurance just hope next years premium comes down a bit when its due.

I'm with Bennetts - just under £100 for my 98 900ss ie

The shocking thing is that my Chinese 125 commuter (also with bennetts) is MORE expensive....:confused:

I'm with ebike on a 2-bike policy (748R and RSV R). Bennetts wouldn't insure me on a 2-bike policy with the duke's mods of slip-ons, bit of carbon, and uprated brakes?????

Prior to that I was with DW Laxton for several years as they were always cheaper than most (not sure how as you get bombarded with paperwork from them).

Could you not add the commuter to your other policy?

Just moved to MotorCycle direct.

e-bike wouldn't/can't take off breakdown cover that I didn't want :mad: and the final straw was when I rang up to discuss the renewal and they insisted they wanted about a fiver more than the price on the renewal paperwork and wouldn't honour the original renewal price. :mad: :mad: :mad:

Prompted me to get some quotes from elsewhere, saved £100 on the e bike renewal.........result:bouncy:

I find Ducati Insurance by far the best for multiple bikes
