I had two bikes on one policy with Bennetts (a 2003 Triumph Bonneville and a 2007 Honda CBF 1000). I'm changing the Honda for a new Triumph Tiger 800 XRX - a new model this year. Because the underwriters (Equity Red Star don't have the new bike on their system (it was only launched 6 months ago!) I had to take the Honda off the existing policy (with a paltry refund) and start a new policy for the new bike with Aviva. Due to riming I have had to start with zero no claims bonus with Aviva also in order to get the legal assistance gear cover and breakdown cover (which I have on my existing policy) I was invited to pay yet another £55I accept that this is probably my fault - after all who would want to buy a bike so soon after launch! I don't have a lot pf previous experience in insuring bikes (I had a very long break in my motorcycling) but plenty of experience in insuring cars so this all came as an expensive surprise to me.On a positive note the nice lady at Bennetts did give me some good advice about what to do when my original policy comes up for renewal in October - I hope that I will be able to give a better review then but right now I have more than 200 reasons to be unhappy with the motorcycle insurance business.
