I found that my first ever motorcycle insurance quote was quite reasonable, it was the second and subsequent years that it sky rocketed, so be prepared to shop around NEXT year.

Don't go and use those 'compare' websites, they're a rip-off !!!!
You best going directly to insurance sites (or phoning) HMT, and you may get a policy to tailor to your needs exactly, as you can tell them what you want and don't want, and in the process get a much better quote than 'compare sites'. Compare sites are not always cheaper or honest about what you exactly get for your money (sometimes hidden costs). And I believe that compare sites get a throw-back off the Insurance companies if they push 'their' company at customers!!!!
i found devitt the cheapest for me this year. but as sandi said, shop around every year for the best deal, they give you a good price the first year but whack it up after that.
Your occupation can make a huge difference to the quote, even a slight rethink on how you describe your occupation can help. Dnt stretch it too far though, insurance policies are 'of utmost good faith' and depend on your honesty in the detail when filling in the forms. Shame the insurance companies don't use the same morals when dealing with a claim.... Watch the excess you may have to pay and ask about mid term adjustment fees and think about European cover and breakdown/recovery offerings, it all makes a difference. Multi bike policies can be very good value and see if the policy will cover ANY bike you care to ride too.
i have used ebike very very good.am with mce and theyre fantastic.get my speed triple fully comp+breakdown+helmet/leather cover £10,000 and protected excess £124 but i t pays to shop around.ive always used the three comparison websites to get quotes then go to them and haggle to get a better deal and it works everytime i get a discount every year from mce
Thank you everyone for responding .. have to put my insurance on hold for now .. am poorly again at the moment so no bike for me just yet .... shop has had to re-sell it for me before i even rode it ... :((((( but I WILL GET THERE!!!
I have used online compare site for the last 7 years for bikes and cars and found nothing to the point that I would not use them again as they have saved me a lot of money over that period. Four year ago I used `Confused.com`and they pointed out Bennetts were for the best deal for what I requested on cover. The following year I assumed Bennetts would give me the best deal, so I continued another year although they had upped the cost of policy by £21. ( maybe Inflation I thought). The following year it went up again by reminder of renewal, so I went online again to `Confused.com`and got it for £79 cheaper with AQuote. The year after I went online again and got it cheaper still from `wait for it` "Bennett" so I have gone back to them for this year..... Five years ago I saved £295 on my Nisson Navara the same way..... I trusted the Insurance I dealt with for years???
