Highly recommend Peter James Ins. Used to have Footman James, Carol Nash & all the others but Peter James are doing some great multi bike packages. Worth trying 'em out!

I agree about Peter James, particularly if you have more than one bike or want to ride other people's bikes. They have a slightly weird way of working out when a bike is a classic though. Last time I asked a Harley was classed as classic at ten years old but an Enfield had to be fifteen.

Just added my BSA Bantam to my main policy. with value and mileage allowance (2k/annum). only £40 top up Other companies wanted a separate "classics" policy with 3 figure premiums

Last year I added CX500b to my KTM 1190 Adventure insurance through Carol Nashand expected the usual shafting. When I was told it would £18 inc admin fees I thought that’s very reasonable. When I went to give my payment details she had to tell me again it was an £18 refund! Never had insurance refunded before, probably never again.

I have used Peter James for the last few years after Footman James upped their price. Have 10 bikes on one policy with them including 2 old moderns (2003 Transalp & varadero 1000) I think their start is 10 to 15 years old for the classic policy.
I was thinking of a modern ( 2012) and they wanted a large premium increase so it would have been cheaper to take out a new policy for that one bike with another provider, did not bother in the end.
Admin cost of change is £15 but not charged for change of modifications or removal of a bike on being sold, assuming there are others left on the policy.
A con is they are shut all weekend but will respond to emails on the Monday.
Not had to make a claim so do not known how they perform there.
