CHEAP MOTORBIKE INSURANCE IS THE GRAIL WE ARE ALL IN SEARCH.
Cheap Motorbike Insurance is one of the UK's specialist motorbike insurance related web sites. Get a no pressure quote in your own time.
In order to ensure
that you get the best possible insurance quote you should realise that
motorbike insurance group ratings are not structured in the same rigid
way as car insurance is.
Motorbike Insurance Groups
Unlike the car insurance industry, motorbike insurance companies do not
really tend to have hard and fast groups ratings. They all have their
own independent way of rating the various motorbikes available. It is
frequently suggested that they base their group ratings on a structure
initially set up by Norwich Union, but as yet we cannot confirm nor deny
this. By the very nature of the fact that their is no specific motorcycle
insurance group rating system on which to base your quote, you will find
it much harder to work out how much you should be paying for your next
motorcycle insurance policy. The best bet in our humble opinion is to
work it out in the following fashion. Motorbikes over 15 years old could
more often than not qualify for classic bike insurance which will save
you a fortune in premiums unless it really is a big and powerful bike!
If it's a brute you will need to rely heavily on your NCD, a clean licence
and your age / riding experience to keep that quote down.
Smaller bike and scooters will be in a lower risk bracket which we think
is a more appropriate way to describe bike group ratings. Power output
at the back wheel is lower with these. They cost less to buy and repair
too which makes the insurance company look favorably on pricing the policy.
Easy riders and tourers like the may be expensive to buy initially but
since they are not exactly nimble or bikes every thief would want to nick,
and you are not likely to show up on the high street pulling wheelie's,
insurance companies will not necessarily place these machines in the highest
insurance group.
However with the likes of the ultra powerful sports bikes such as the
Honda CBR Fireblade, Suzuki GSXR and Kawasaki ZZR you are likely to pay
maximum insurance prices. They have huge BHP (Break Horse Power) at and
bike thieves like these modern and sophisticated machines. They carry
tremendous street cred and younger riders and older riders alike are likely
to show off a little should they get the chance on a Sunday afternoon
at the local bike cafe. The amount of plastic parts on these bikes means
high repair charges and specialist equipment is needed to keep these street
machines in tip top tuned condition. Many are de tuned racing bikes with
indicators and it does not take much to get these bikes to perform way
beyond the average motorbike owners potential. The insurers realise these
facts and increase the motorcycles insurance group accordingly.
We like many other web sites strongly recommend that you always consult your
chosen insurance provider for accurate information on the motorbike you intend to buy, insure or hire so that you know what
rating the bike you are looking at is rated as. Don't be surprised to hear a number in the 20's for 600 cc sports bikes and 750 cc
super sports bikes. Expect to pay the maximum for a Hyabusa or BlackBird.
- The more NCB you have the cheaper your quote should be

- Buying a more powerful bike means more expensive insurance
- Modifications to the BHP will push up the insurance price
- Unrestricting your bike could cost your cover

- Commuting will increase your insurance premium

- Older bikes can cost a lot less to insure, even the bigger ones
- Many 600cc can cost more than a 900cc to insure due to top speed capabilities
- Courier riders need separate insurance
- Limiting the number of named riders could save you money
- If you ride with pillion passengers, cover costs more
- Track days are not covered by standard insurance policies
- Protect your NCB and save on next years quote

According to
Motorcycle Direct you should shop around for a better deal every year.
People who are prepared to search for a few hours could save anywhere
from £50 to £200 or more in that short time. Looking for a cheaper motorbike
insurance premium online is worth the investment of your your time online.
Naturally there is more to the premium price than just who provides the
quote. One reason why a policy for the same type of bike may be cheaper
for one of your friends is that he may be older than you, another is his
bikes security and yet another is the fact that he may have agreed on
an higher excess payment. Does he own a garage? This often brings down
the premium price as does living in a particular area. Shop around and
get the best cover at the best price (if the motorbike insurance quote
seems too cheap, you may well regret it if you come to make a claim and
find policy exclusions, large hidden excesses, poor claims service etc.).
Remember, there are over one hundred companies out there, all trying to
make a profit out of cheap motorbike insurance - and each of them will
have a different set of underwriting criteria, some may see you as an
unacceptably high risk to their insurance company and then others may
see you as an acceptable risk to their motorbike insurance company. It
all depends on where their specialty lies.
If insurance companies are actually willing to share this information with you to help you make the best possible
choice, can it hurt to find out?
