Sorry for such and awful question, but my wife has just bought a motorcycle and we are looking for Insurance cover tonight/tomorrow, any companies you can recommend or to avoid. Reasonable rates of course too. She's 43, provisional and for a Honda CBR125R if that is important. There's a million companies come up we've never heard of on comparison sites, should we just stay mainstream?

Thank you very much for your replies in advance.
:think: Can anyone explain to me how to put a signature here? :think:

    Honda used to do their own bike insurance...worth asking around....Bennets and Carole Nash are 2 of the big ones that sping to mind...but I doubt if they're cheap....mind you ...you get what you pay for...she didn't buy from Dobles by any chance?

    Carole Nash are often cheap first time, watch out for renewals. Motorcycle Direct have been good for me too.

    Have used both ebike and Carole Nash, both of which include breakdown service as part of the insurance. Am currently with Bennetts but won't be using them again because they are one of the auto-renewal scammers I so detest.

    Don't forget to read the MSE bike insurance article.
