Having used Knopf in the past (2 1/2 years' worth of green card cover) I went back and checked. Stefan confirmed that the green card issued by ADAC/ Arisa via Knopf does provide cover for a UK-plated and registered bike.
I might not like the attitude of my UK insurer. I might not like the 150% price hike at Knopf in the last three years. But it appears to offer me the necessary cover that I can't get anywhere else.
I hope this clears matters up for anyone else in the same position. (Or, if you have a UK insurer offering a better deal, please let us all know.)

Not sure I can help. Without looking back through the thread: where is you bike registered? Are you in the UK at the moment?

Mike,
Thanks for that clarification from Knopf/ Stefan.
Just shows how "curious"/ strange all the fine print can be.
I guess the reason this info--that ADAD/ Arisa will cover UK-rego bikes--does not appear on Knopf's website, Green Card, is that 90% of ADAC Green Card business originates
from vehicles registered outside Europe; so the question of UK-rego cover simply does not come up that often.
Glad you found a solution, and shared this option for other UK-rego riders.
