Bennetts Insurance (UK Specific?)

[edscoot]

Has anybody in the UK got a their pcx or any other bike insured with Bennetts? If so you need to read this on MCN: http://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/News/ ... EPI-133688

More than 3 modifications and your insurance is invalidated

Modifications include things such as non standard windscreen, different air filter, tank pads, luggage and many many more.
This company must want to go out of business.

Im assuming this will get thrown out pretty soon, i mean whats the point in it?
Surely a bike with more modifications means that the owner is going to take more care of it, and not ride round car parks at 1am doing wheelies with their mates on their 50cc falling apart piece of crap peugeot speedfights.
Im with lexham though and they dont have anything like this. Im not planning on doing more than 3 mods anyway to be honest.
That list of mods actually explained a few to me though

I'm not with them either and having seen this there's no way I would ever even ask for a quote.

I've got a honda big screen, honda top box, honda alarm, oxford heated grips and a K'n'N filter - that's five mods and would mean they wouldn't insure me. I think Bennetts will either change their policy pretty damn quick or we will be reading about them going bust cos there's no way anybody is going to stay with them.

I can't believe the policy on mods over in the UK. We don't have to worry about anything like that here in the USA, the insurance companies just pay out. My coverage even includes an additional $3000 in accessory coverage free to cover my windshield, mods, and all my gear in case of a write-off accident.
