I seem to keep switching annually between BMW and Carole Nash Insurance.

How long is a piece of string? Insurance prices vary so much dependant on how they price perceived risk.

I've been using Carol Nash for the last couple of years, price has stayed pretty much the same, though I'm of an age where I think I've bottomed out in the ins. market.
Also I am insuring 2 bikes on the one policy which seems to be cheaper...

Insurance premium advice questions are worse than oil questions!
Should be banned!!

+1 never had a cheap quote from the cheap quote merchants often listed in this sort of thread, in fact usually the opposite coming in as the most expensive.

why not....
ban ALL questions in the gs1200 section rather than risk pissing off keyboard warriors who think that everyone on the site should be as knowledgeable as some like to think they are.
To original poster - try Adelaide Insurance based in Belfast. I find them very competitive.

There's no real short cut
I find the comparison websites useless, as I have a complicated history and several bikes on the one policy. They don't have the flexibility to cope. Maybe they are a shortcut for some, if the circumstances are straightforward.
You just have to resign yourself either to not knowing if you're paying more than you need to (almost definitely) or to spending time and getting frustrated ringing round a lot of different insurance brokers initially and then every time your renewal comes up. Depends how much you value saving money. Everyone's circumstances are different, so there's not much point in asking which broker is best, unless you want a list of candidates to ring round.
At my last (MCE) renewal, they swore blind they had given me their best quote, but I rang round and got a better one, which they eventually matched (going down about £50 to about £260, from what I remember). It's a pain in the arse. I felt like going elsewhere because they had messed me around, but changing companies also involves effort and I couldn't be bothered.

I recently moved my policy to them and they have been a nightmare. They wrongly took an extra £160 from my card and it has been a long fight (involving lots of calls to expensive phone numbers) to get it back. I am now trying to get compensation from them.

Carol Nash quoted me £350
Bennetts £114
Then carol Nash rang back saying they could do it for £117 which is really good as you get full AA cover why didn't they get the low quote first
Because they are greedy
Renewed mine last week - this year I decided to run my details through a couple of the comparison sites and certainly had some cheaper quotes than my renewal offer from Carole Nash, but without as many included benefits, European recovery etc.
I then put all my details through the online calculator on the Carole Nash website (effectively as a new customer) and included all the mods to the bike, increased my mileage a little, and it quoted £30 less than my renewal quote! Paid online and phoned them to let them know they already had my proof of no-claims
