Who are you with for the Triumph?

Carole Nash added my 500/4 to my Tiger 800 for £25...

I must second the Carol Nash recommendation, they have always been the most competitive for me.  The only thing is to get the best deal you will need to be a member of a bike club like VMCC or similar.  Ithink I pay about £70.

I am with MCE for the trophy and they just quoted me £75 to add the HOnda to my policy for the next 5 months. Carole Nash quoted me £160 !!!! for a new policy.

Think I will just add to my MCE policy for now and shop around again when it's up fpr renewal in September

I am with Peter James and just paid £195 to renew fully comp on 2008 Vmax, 1980 RD200, 1974 CB550 and 1987 NS400R. 52 years old 9 years NCB PO21 postcode. Includes breakdown cover and no mileage restrictions. £50 per bike - no brainer !

Just had my renewal from Carl Nash £141 for 2 1971 500/4's fully comp with riders thrown in free

I hate Carol Nash with a passion because of their exorbitant fees to make any alteration. They also made me ride a horrible Suzuki 650 for a summer when my Sportster got nerfed.

Bennett's for me, £80 odd for the CB750 fully comp, similar age and NCB to you.

They gave me one of them when my Sprint 955 was flattened by White Van Man in Lewisham a few years back.

It was brand new...


... and horrible

blimey, fully comprehensive  , I go for third party, much cheaper.

I pay £158 for me, my wife and my dad to ride any combo of 1974 cb500/4, cb250 nighthawk, ca125 rebel, ntv 650 ( all M reg) and a kh125 (F reg) The fee to add the ntv for 3 months that the policy had to run when I bought it was £3.58. They didn't charge to add the rebel when I bought it as only about a month of cover. The company is Lynnbrooke. I mainly use them as they offer buy back salvage in event of a write off, and the cb500/4 sidecar and the kh are both bikes I am very attatched to sentimentally, being my first ever bike and first sidecar outfit. I have every part to fix either and would, regardless of dammage. Clean licence and no claims going back a fair way for me.

I also use Lynnbrooke 3 bikes £90 for the year  , cheers Mick.

If you want to ride a modern bike (less then 15 years old) along with agreed value classic then Carol Nash is the only option as they operate a rider policy. That's what I have. I pay £520 fully comp for a Honda Blackbird and 7 classics all with agreed value and I live in London.
It's a case of shopping around for the best deal, takes hours though!

I have a Kawasaki Versys 1000 (June 2015) and CB 750/4 (1972) as well as a CB500/4 (1974) on the road with Footman James, through their VJMC classic policy. This allows any number of modern bikes and classics, provided that the classics always outnumber the modern bikes (so I understand, though I have only ever had the one modern bike at a time, so have not put this to the test).

I have always found them very good, over some 15 years of custom.

Footman James for me (VMCC member). Two CB750's (agreed value £7000 & £3000) one CB350F (agreed value £7000) was just £72 for the lot. Comprehensive cover.
