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?

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.

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
Not looking good so far
Bikesure came back £30 cheaper than my current renewal invite - BUT no breakdown cover
Add that in at £85 and they’re £50-60 more expensive
Insurer is West Bay (never heard of them - but part of Makerstudy group)
Plus XS on a 21 year old 1150 GSA is £500 v’s the current insurer’s £50 (90% worse)
So they as the UK’s biggest motorcycle broker (their words
) trawled 51 insurance companies and come up with this 
Where do they dream up these figures
I’ve just been through this. Ended up going with Honda insurance ( bikesure , I think) the policy is the same as my current one (Aviva) but £450 less excess. My current thieves wanted an extra £110 for the same thing. 
Personally I wish we could deal direct with the insurers.

Got a good deal earlier in the year with Hastings Direct JB.
