Bennetts were certainly trying to screw their clients earlier this year.

I've just insured the three modified 650 BMW's and KTM 525 on a multi bike with them, £245 subject to approval via phone call which then dropped to £185 because one bike had a personal plate. Went on to insure the XR500 and 200 with them for £90. That's a sharp pencil in the quote department by anyone's standards but it took me half a day of juggling which underwriters would cover what bikes and for how much. The XR500 was the biggest issue.
