Bike insurance- who’s good or bad at moment?

I look at the underwriter rather than the broker.
Markerstudy are on the do not touch list.
Ageas & Aviva are preferred. Neither sell bike insurance direct so you have to go via a broker

If a broker is shit you can always go direct to the underwriter. You really do not want to be covered through a Markerstudy broker (C Nash, Swinton et al) and have a policy underwritten by them as well.

Sage (not saga) insurance advice, as ever
 
I can only speak for price.as i have never had to make a claim.at the moment these seem good on price.Lexham insurance.have a read of the small print to see what is and is not offered in the policy
 
And yet when I was with markerstudy they offered more than the market price when one of my bikes was written off?
Quick and easy
 
I 've just gone with Swinton JB
4 bikes, R1150GSA, WR250R (Ex-Marks) Guerrilla 450 and K1100LT)
£350.11
Insurer is Ageas.

a sample size of one is not quite the same as a consensus across multiple review and social media platforms, especially where repairs are involved not a total loss.
 
Carole Nash have just given me a quote for 3 bikes £292.73 incl breakdown/recovery & no claims protect which I thought was fair, and I will probably go with it.
Depends on total value of bikes / no claims disc / any previous claims / traffic violations / postcode, plus a host of other considerations to be fair.
 
What a fucking palalaver shopping around for insurance quotes

So many questions, so time consuming

I just cross reference a couple of comparison sites

unlike some others, they are not owned by Admiral, Esure etc. I generally ignore the "cheaper" ones at the top of the list with stupidly high excesses and pared back policies.

however, I suspect you are wanting to cover multiple bikes which can be more complex than my 1 bike home.

Thanks
Yep 6 bikes
3 main road going bikes (T7 and BMW GS)
3 specialist off-road bikes

So not straightforward as I found out speaking to Bikesure at teatime
