the usual compare.com is worth a shot.
my first two bike were with rampdale, seemed cheap enough but they were cheap bikes which helped. is there a mille forum/club you might get suggestions from?

First off I'd recommend contacting H&R direct to find out what the score is, it might be your quote wasn't with them but with someone else and they were acting as a broker. Otherwise try all the normal comparison sites, confused.com, moneysupermarket.com etc etc and hope a good price shows up.

Bennets gave me the best deal, new rider, 6 points and one crash (my fault) on my car licence, bike parked on drive overnight and used to commute = £150 TPFT

but then again my 650GS is't really what the thiefs are after smile

Update.

Loosened belt and made the phone call.

After giving them the additional details (is an extra 6 points with an SP50 from last year) she very quickly gave me the updated price.











Unchanged!

Cannot believe it - bet I am not so lucky on the cars, but this has at least made me happy.

£215 FC for a 2004 GSXR600, with protected no-claims, and £250 compulsory excess. Very happy.

Still going to do my homework tonight, but don't think I will beat that.
