Insurance for new and used bikes

Prior to collecting your new bike, you will need to have proof of an insurance policy in place in the form of “Certificate of motor insurance”. This will be something that is emailed to you at the point of taking out insurance cover.

Insurance - what you need to know

One of the critical things to remember is that it’s always good to check the excess and level of cover. Sometimes the cheapest may not always be the best option.

Also, it’s worth noting that your first year will be pretty expensive if you’re a new rider. However, assuming you have no claims, it should drop in the second year.

FAQ

Each and every one of us has that moment when we are suddenly stunned when we come face to face with the enormity of the universe.

Can I ride a motorcycle without insurance?

No, you are legally required to have insurance before you ride away.

How can I get motorcycle insurance?

The best starting point is the comparison websites that you will find with a Google search. It’s alway good to check the excess and level of cover as sometimes the cheapest may not always be the best option. Also, it’s worth noting that if you’re a new rider, your first year will be pretty expensive. However, assuming you have no claims it should drop in the second year.

Where can I get my licence?

You will need to start with DVLA for a provisional licence. Once you have this, search for your local motorcycle and scooter rider training centre. They will then be able to provide you with a bike and kit to get you through your licence.
