ON THE MOVE

Motorcycle insurance. Explained.

Look beyond the bike’s value to riding use, security, equipment and the terms of a theft claim.

Start with what you need covered.

Your motorcycle, riding history, storage arrangements and use all belong in the quote conversation. Ask the insurer to confirm how commuting, pillion passengers and modifications are treated. A motor policy label alone does not establish protection for riding clothing, accessories or a journey overseas.

UNDERSTAND THE OPTIONS

Different arrangements. Different details.

01

Third-party cover

Focuses on liability to others rather than repairs to your own motorcycle.

02

Fire and theft protection

Ask exactly which theft and fire losses are included, with what security conditions.

03

Comprehensive cover

Discuss own-bike damage alongside the exclusions, excess and optional benefits.

BEFORE YOU CHOOSE

Four conversations worth having.

Security conditions

Which locks, storage arrangements and security routines are required?

Accessories

Are modifications, luggage, helmets and leathers insured and at what limits?

Riding use

Are commuting, pillion riding and trips abroad included in the stated use?

Settlement

How is the motorcycle valued after a total loss, and what evidence is needed?

These are research prompts, not a quote or a recommendation. Ask an insurer or authorised broker to explain the accepted policy, its exclusions and your own circumstances. Product features vary.
