I'm close to doing a deal on a 1098R Bayliss, so i've spoken to my present insurer (Carole Nash) about taking off my 998S Bayliss rep & 1098S Tricolore & adding the 1098R to my 916 Foggy rep, as i was swapping two bikes with the combined value close to the 1098R i thought it would be an easy task, how wrong i was!!!!

When i renewed the policy in July last year i was informed by CN that the company i was with no longer did agreed value policies so they would have to swap over to Norwich union, who wanted £200 more than the £1,200 i had paid the previous year.

Now, they want another £500 to put the 1098R on in place of the 998 & 1098 Tricolore, for the 6 months upto renewal in July!!!

I've rung a couple of companies (Bennetts & Ducati insurance) & was told they couldn't cover bikes of that value!!

I've spoken to MCE, they're working on a quote for me, they seemed switched on & interested in helping me. Has anybody had any dealings with them?

I'm not too stressed at having agreed value on the bikes now, so can anybody suggest a company that will cover both bikes at a reasonable cost?

I've spoken to more companies today, the problem is the 1098R Bayliss, due to the fact that it's £27k. The Foggy is just added on to the policy, but the 1098 is classed as the main bike.

The only people that have given me a quote so far are CN, who are my present insurer & Swinton. CN want £500 to take me upto renewal, which i'm guessing will be close to £2k, swinton have quoted £1655, but i've got to fit a tracker & they won't give me agreed value on the Foggy.
