Initially,as most people will have found out,I was met by all sorts of promises on the websites until I described the bike and it was starting to look a bit bleak. Let me say at this stage I was just fishing around on the internet and haven't yet tried Footman James.I didn't want to get too involved until I was ready.
However, I finally got a couple of quotes from the Motor Cycle News insurance query form MCN compare.
The first was Insure Wiser/KGM for £145 and the other was Bikesure for £180.
Of the two,apart from being cheaper, KGM had a lot more freebies i.e. helmet/leather cover,very low excess and free RAC recovery. Bikesure wants £250 excess and other stuff for a charge.
Anyone on KGM??
There is another independent broker who is confident he can quote me and,after sending him pics,I am waiting for his underwriters to get back.
I believe Equity Red Star is in trouble and this may be why some policies may change??
I also own a trike (not diesel)and I see KGM offers a multi VEHICLE policy so I may ask as the trike was £190 last time.
I'm a bit lucky as the MZ keeps coming up as an MZ Robin DR400 on the automated forms and I believe this applies to the limited production MZ Robins that were produced a few years ago so there is a precedent.
Once I get a bit nearer an MOT, in a few weeks, I'll call Footman James to see what he can offer but I'm just glad I'm being offered ins. in the first place, so, I'm a bit happier.
