hi guys ive just got my renewal today last yr it was 460 this yr 1250,no changes and this is from Bemoto whom ive been for yrs,its a bloody rip off,ive just found a quote on line from wicked 427.67,its full com but no extras i dont how good wicked is if you ave a problem,,are you guys having the same trouble,the quotes for a sthou 24 msport and i live in the SW
 
Insurance is ballistic. 1 reason I've gone back to track only.
The underwriter is the most important thing to check, make sure they are sound.

I'd probably get a few more quotes. Devitts, Bennetts, Carole Nash etc.
 
try a couple of comparison sites, i had to leave beMoto after being with them for several years as this year the underwriter (axa?) would not cover.

try compare the market, and also The Bike Insurer. I ended up buying a fully comp policy with Hastings.
 
I also left BeMoto last year for the same reason. Got the BMW insured with Bennetts this time around. Wasn't the very cheapest, but close with extras on top. I always use the Bike Insurer to compare prices
 
Thanks guys,I've looked on most sites,bennets wanted 600 ,but it did include,B/d,personal injury,leathers/helmet,etc,Carol Nash,Devitts,where similar price to Bemoto,I'm really shocked how much insurance has gone up,they are going to price people of the rd or more people willnt insure their bikes,and just ride uninsured,I only ride from April to October
 
I was with wicked on a ninja H2 .. 7 years ago . They were good . Bikesure for M1K but quotes are either not coming back or way too high

Wonder if this is RR only, I suspect not, probably applies to all bikes tho obviously a weighting for a bike like the RR. In London you more or less can’t get on street insurance any more, has to be garaged.

BeMoto's new underwriters don't seem to like RRs at all. I have a much newer, more expensive second bike which under their previous underwriter (AXA), was considered the "main bike" in the multi bike policy - quite rightly, it's worth more than double and was doing 5x the mileage. However, since BeMoto's new underwriters came onboard, my RR is now the "main bike" as they see it as a bigger risk, despite doing almost no road miles, being worth less, etc.
 
KTM 1390 .. £430 .. BMW M1K can’t get insurance 😂 it’s laughable . An S1K or M1K for some reason is being treated like a Range Rover here in the UK

Mmm. Maybe time for track only for these bikes. That’s what I do and still get plenty enjoyment out of my road bikes. Tbh I find the RR too fast for S of England roads but maybe that’s my age..just an accident or a ban waiting to happen.
 
Looks like I'm not the only one,who is getting hammered by insurance pricing,I'll probably go with wicked,I thought it was my age as I'm I'n my mid 70s,perhaps BMW,should subsided the insurance for people who buy RRs,otherwise people might stop buying them for a rd bike,but thanks guys for your input

Has anyone ever asked if they’ll do 6months only ? Could be a way to control costs. Or insure for the year from April then cancel in October - you’ll get a rebate not full.

You still want fire and theft cover even if not riding, and tbh, there's little difference between that and fully comp these days. There is laid-up cover but I didn't investigate that. I did look into track bike cover, that reduced it £300, I'd just need to get a ground anchor fitted in my garage. But then ofc I can't ride on the road (not that I tend to anyway with this bike), but it's nice to have the option.
 
i just insured the bike with wicked , Full comp £457 with protected N/C,and legal cover,now im waiting for the uk weather to be nice, once again thanks for your input guys

I don't know if the same concept exists for bikes but BMW insurance have a car ins concept - subscription insurance. It's not an annual policy, you just pay monthly and cancel when you want. I used it last year, really just to alter the renewal month of my car insurance, as it was the same as both bike and home insurance... It was a little more expensive than an annual policy, but as i said, i used it for other purposes so was reasonably happy. I haven't seen it for bikes, but wasn't really looking. Might be worth searching for that...

Never knew there was track only cover - I just insure for my track days on the group policy for that trip which is usually £75 per trip for three days on track. Not sure it covers the bike, it’s mainly for injury and repatriation I think. My RR is 2013 so not worth a lot, so I don’t need to insure it for theft when it’s not on track.

I’ve got my other track bikes insured for fire & theft through trackday addicts. They also do cover for accidental damage on track days and repat cover. Just dug out the link here: https://trackdayaddicts.com/insurance/track-bike-theft-insurance/
