Just like with car insurance, the cost of motorbike insurance is affected by a range of factors. These include:

• Your age
• What type of bike is being insured
• Any previous convictions or bike insurance claims
• How much and how you plan to use your motorbike
• What level of insurance coverage you want
• Where you park your bike

To see what people think about our motorbike insurance, take a look at our customer reviews.

You can usually reduce your premium by making changes to the level of coverage you have, opting for just third party cover rather than comprehensive, for example. Other factors can also bring down the cost of motorcycle insurance, including reducing how often you ride, adding security locks to your vehicle, and downgrading to a bike with a smaller engine.

This varies between providers but, generally, you won’t be able to transfer your car no claims bonus to a new motorbike insurance policy.

Most motorbike insurance policies these days won’t include pillion cover, meaning that you’re uninsured to carry passengers. However, some providers might still include it in.
