In the UK it is illegal to ride a motorbike without insurance. Different policies exist for different categories of motor-bike (e.g. off road bikes, courier bikes, super bikes etc). In many ways motorcycle insurance is similar to car insurance. You can choose from Third Party, Third Party, Fire and Theft or Fully Comprehensive Cover. The factors used to assess premiums are also similar (age and sex of drivers, size of vehicle, location, driving history etc).

In general it is not possible to transfer a No Claims Bonus from a car to a motorbike. Your biking no claims bonus will need to be built up separately. On the other hand, unless you have driving convictions, your car driving history and claims record will not be taken into account when assessing your motorbike insurance premium.

As with any type of insurance it pays to compare a range of quotes. That way you can be confident that you have adequate cover at a price you can afford.
