What bike insurer do you use, and do they require a tracker to be fitted?
I am with MiWay (good rates offset by reasonable excess payments). In 2019 they only required a tracker to be fitted to the big bike (1090 Adv R). I've always had several smaller bikes and plastics (125-500cc), and it was affordable enough to insure all. No tracker required.
Yesterday they called to inform me that each and every bike has to have a tracker installed in order to be insured (CRF250, CRF300, SWM 300R, SWM 500R - good luck on installing a tracker on a dirt bike!). This constitutes a 60% increase in insurance costs for the smaller bikes!
I'd like to know: does your insurer now require a compulsory tracker device to insure your bike?
