World Nomads is only a broker. Where you live, depends which insurance company will underwrite the risk.
Its some years since I used them, but being resident in France, the cover was provided by a Danish company. They were first class when it came to medical and repatriation costs.
Just my 2 cents

I had to renew my travel insurance after having 2 year travel insurance from ADAC (Germany). To get new travel insurance from them I would need to fly to Germany and visit their office. ADAC had 1st class service after my accident in Indonesia.
I got email from world nomads which stated "We do not place a restriction on the type or size of bike you can ride, but if your licence has any restrictions, you must abide by them."
This was good back-up, but I decided to go with HCC Medical (Atlas travel).
They were cheaper than World Nomads, response was lightning fast. Their insurance is renewable up to 36 months and it does not matter if your trip has already started.

World First http://www.world-first.co.uk/home/tr...residents.aspx is also offering a travel insurance which can be purchased after trip has started and they do not limit motorcycle cc.

I'm on a long motorcycle trip and got world nomads insurance. Big mistake! Got ear infection about a month into the trip and had to see doctor and get some meds. Paid $70 out of my pocket and was told that I will be reimbursed once I send them all the paperwork. Did everything following day. This was 2 months ago. Since then they've been bullshiting me with million emails and just waisting my time saying that I need to submit more paperwork, contact my insurance back home… basically just trying to make it difficult to the point where you give up on the claim and they never pay for it.
