Not on the Tenere, but the TTR, but it's still worth noting.
I got my renewal from JustMotorcycle Insurance, the low cost arm of Carol Nash. These guys were incredibly cheap when they first took to the market, but over the last 3 or 4 years they have crept up, from a starting (TPFT) cost of around �50 it is now over �80. OK so it's �30 and not much more than a full tank of fuel, but it accounts for a 60% rise in cost.
I duly rang them up, went through the usual, "yes I'm married, yes to a woman, yes I have two eyes, etc etc" a few more question, some more answers, then they came back and said, yes, we can cut that price.......
by �1.59..........
So, over to Meercovo for some compare the market.....
Bennets quoted cheapest at �51 TPFT. OK I know they have a crap reputation, but they could also do Comprehensive for only �12 more. Even with the extortionate costs of paying monthly they were still cheaper than JMI. I took the �51
Out of interest, I asked about the Tenere (due in May), last year, through Carol Nash it was over �200, same bike, with all the extras, with Bennets, is coming in at... �75 ! Now I can take allot of bad service for �125, so I reckon Carol Nash, for the first time in nearly 10 years, will be getting the boot.
AND, as I purchased my insurance through Comparethemarket.com, I get a Meerkat toy, currently selling at �20+ on eBay! I guess that makes my insurance around �30. Bargain!
