After being with CN for more years than they had records, I decided to check out another company for the same deal on renewal. quoted £700 cheaper (new premium £300). It turns out that CN deal very closely (pun intended) with CLOSE BROTHERS Finance, who charge 50% of the premium as a LOAN. CN are not for bikers, they are for money only and you will find many cheaper and less grubby Insurance/loan companies out there. Consider a cheaper way to go direct to a bank and get a loan from them first if you wanted to afford these prices. Lets not forget your money is financing large shows and other advertising scams. Shop around always, check the amounts always, check and detail your renewal, always (this is what cost me so much over the years).
