I'm having trouble getting insurance quotes on several online sites. It's my second bike, I own a home and a car, no convictions etc. The sites don't list a Model 8 as a choice so the closest I can get is a G3 LW. Any suggestions?

I have all 6 of my machines on the same classic policy. That's with "RH Insurance" who advertise in the back of "Jampot". They very kindly included my '95 VFR750 as a "Classic"... Stop sniggering at the back there. It might be a classic one day!!

It is already a classic to me...wish I'd never sold mine!

Yes, I also use RH Insurance, no one else could compete with prices and help on my 5 bikes.

So why don't the sites list a Model 8 as a choice ... the closest I can get is a G3 LW?

I think most firms subcontract the creation of their websites and the designers have little or no expertise in the products.
It would be a tall (and expensive) requirement to have website designers put every make and model in the list. I find it far better to phone as it seems to me that websites are largely bait to attract enquiries from the perhaps 80% of potential customers to whom it is relevant.
My Chinese Herald Classic 250 wasn't listed on insurers' websites but I had no problem insuring it by phone.

Agreed... I always deal over the 'phone. They guys I talk to are very knowledgeable and it's all very easy and uncomplicated.

Have all mine with Hagerty never had an issue and seem very reasonably priced (though I’ve not tried others) staff are always friendly and they don’t charge for mid term alterations. Also when you have a few classics on the policy they will add more modern bikes (so I believe)
