This insurance came in around £180 (This was in June), now I am
getting insurance quotes for the same bike using the same criteria of
around £340.

Is there any reason why this should have heppened

Thanks in advance for any info on this

Wait a couple of days and try again.

Seriously!

I once asked here HTF these people come up with their premiums, short
of licking the finger, holding it in the air, stick a pin in a donkeys
arse, divide by the first letter you thought of, and then make
something up.

I checked my cage insurance with confused.com, and it returned lots oaf
varying quotes, most startlingly including several from my then current
insurer, with a price range of around £340 to £490, from the same
insco.

My son rang around for insurance on his 50cc 'ped, after a driving ban,
and was quoted anything from £600 to £1200 - he had a chat with one
broker, explaining that he lives in a village, and needs transport to
get a job. The broker said he would see what he could do, and called
back an hour or so later with a firm TPFT quote of £115.

My daughters first cage insurance - consistently quoted around the
£1400 mark for anything from a SO Ford Fester to named driver on my
2.5l V6 Galant - then out of the blue Norwich Union quoted £600 as
named driver on my wife's Scooby Impreza!

Go figure!
