Is this a humble brag? I would love to be paying just £140 for bike insurance.

Not at all. Im likely a bit older than you though

Try Footman James and their classic insurance, just added the 996 to my classic policy for a very small amount..

Try Peter James. Cost me £58 to add the Bimota to my classic policy and they’re a really nice company to deal with!

Bennets have done better than everyone this year so everything has ended up with them - two R1s, a TTR and a KTM enduro. Carole Nash did a couple last year and they couldn't get close this time, and were also being a bit picky on the dirtbikes and making out they needed super-specialist cover.

Underwriters on the R1s are Axa, Zenith for the dirtbikes.

How long have you been a customer with Bennetts?

I've used them for a few years now and have a few bikes insured with them.
I gave them a call after receiving this year's renewal letter and I managed to get a healthy chunk knocked off after speaking to someone.

From my experience the do have good customer service and are keen to try and retain their existing customers.

Yep - I have to agree, I've been on and off with them quite often in the last 36 years (how the hell did that happen? ) and they seem give the best customer service - they also paid out in 9 days when my R1 was stolen in 2014 (underwriter Axa).
