Why Compare Motorbike Insurance?

Motorbike insurance is required by law in the UK for anyone who rides a motorbike, scooter or moped. This insurance is intended to cover the costs of any motoring related damage or injuries resulting from riding the insured vehicle.

So whether a roadster, custom cruiser, sports bike or scooter is being ridden it makes sense to get the best value motorbike insurance as well as making sure that the right policy is in place to suit a rider's specific needs.

As with car insurance, motorbike insurance can be broken down into three different cover types: Third Party Only; Third Party Fire and Theft; and Fully Comprehensive.

Third Party cover is the minimum level of motorbike insurance cover required to ride on the road in the UK. It is usually the most economical option as it only covers the damage caused to other vehicles and property by a motorbike in the event of an accident. If the bike is stolen, or is damaged in a crash that was the rider's fault, this will not be covered by your policy.

Third Party Fire and Theft covers a rider for damage caused to other vehicles and property by a motorbike in the event of an accident and it also provides cover if the bike is stolen, damaged or destroyed by a fire. It is worth considering this level of cover as theft presents a substantial risk to motorbikes. However, it is worth weighing up the increased costs and levels of excess that usually accompany this type of policy compared to the actual value of your bike.

A Fully Comprehensive policy will provide cover for damage caused to other vehicles and property, fire, theft and damage to the motorbike and property, even if the accident that caused the damage was the rider's fault. However, policyholders need to be aware of the coverage limitations that may apply. For example, breakdown cover, legal expenses and personal accident cover may well incur additional costs. Fully Comprehensive cover is usually the most expensive type of cover but can also be the most suitable, depending upon individual requirements and the value of the motorbike.
