Shop around for the best motorcycle insurance

Save money on your motorcycle insurance by comparing quotes to find the best deals.

It pays to compare motorbike insurance quotes as different insurers have different deals for different riders and some offer extra discounts online.

There are two types of motorcycle insurance policy. The most common type of policy covers the rider and allows them to ride any motorcycle up to a particular size. The other type of policy insures a specific bike, not a rider. 

Most riders choose to take out third party, fire and theft insurance cover as comprehensive cover is not always financially viable and can cost nearly as much as the bike itself. You may also wish to consider personal possessions cover, personal accident cover and legal expenses cover.

It is also essential to inform your insurer of any modifications that you make to your motorbike. Although most modifications have little impact on premiums, some specific modifications are likely to render a bike uninsurable. These include increasing the engine capacity over five per cent, customisation and converting to running on nitrous oxide.
