Try these guys, they are a broker, but were very friendly and gave a good price. My policy is with Aviva

Re: Insurance Quotes
I use Bennetts and have had no problems. I had to make lots of changes during the early part of the policy and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. It will be interesting to see what happens when my renewal is due
Re: Insurance Quotes
Im with them at the moment, as you say, they tick all the boxes but I guess with any insurance you only know what their like if you have to make a claim. The policy is underwritten by Aviva and came in cheaper than many of the others for exactly the same cover and excess applied.
Im not trying to sway you one way or the other but i take negative reviews of most things with a pinch of salt. You only ever get to hear from people when "in their view" things were not as they should have been or expected. They never tell you the full story or both sides of it. Likewise you are often not comparing eggs with eggs, if Company A has 10 negative reviews on a website and company B has 50 negative reviews, on the face of it company A is a better company. However, if when you dig deeper and find out company A has 1% of the market and company B has 38% of the market, the picture changes.

Re: Insurance Quotes
Doubling insurance after a year! Just had that myself with MCE today. I asked why double and was told because I had changes to the policy early on?....
Swapped from Suzuki 1250 to BMW R1200RT. The only change.
Be a bit of comparing this month.

Re: Insurance Quotes
Morning Dave! Yes, I'm also currently with Bennetts. Needless to say, I only went with them because their quote was the most competitive at renewal time last year. Just a case of seeing what they come up with at next renewal later this year as to whether I stay with them or not! I didn't bother with all the peripheral 'extras' on my policy, ie PAI, leathers & helmet cover, just the legal expenses and NCD protection.
Re: Insurance Quotes
Yep, me too for Bennett's, liked the option of many add-ons (crash bars, bash plates, etc.) For free without effecting policy price. Just so long that the mods don't increase performance.

Re: Insurance Quotes
Morning All Thanks for input and thanks Casbar had look at principal insurance but not the cheapest I'm with Swinton just now which were less expensive than them, but Bennets still coming out on top ,quite like the idea they use RAC for breakdown cover ,have used them with the car (in Europe) could not fault the service to be fair,Bennets can do a policy with european breakdown cover for less than Swinton just for insurance, no brainer I suppose
