Motorbike Insurance Cover Levels and Policy Types

Full Comprehensive Motorbike Insurance
If you motorcycle is written off (Lost) or damaged, your insurer should either:

• Pay for your motorcycle to be repaired
• Replace you motorcycle
• Pay you out the equavalant value equal to the loss or damage at the time of your accident

Most of the time you could expect the following: If your motorcycle is less than 6 months old, and was bought from new, it may replaced for you by your motorcycle insurer with a new one of the same make and specification. Comprehensive Insurance should also cover your compensation costs and expenses you may have to pay as a result of you being legally liable in an accident for the following:

• Death or bodily injury to anyone else for an unlimited amount
• Damage to anyone else's property for up to a pre specified amount for any or all claims arising from any one incident

They should also pay your legal costs if they relate to an incident which could be:

• Your solicitors fees
The fees of legal representatives the insurer may ask to defend to defend you

You are almost always expected to pay an excess if your motorcycle is lost, stolen, or damaged and you make a claim.

Thirds Party Fire and Theft
If your motorcycle is stolen or damaged by fire, lightning, explosion, or attempted theft we either:

• Pay for your motorcycle to be repaired
• Replace your motorcycle
• Pay you a cash amount equal to the loss or damage

Once again if you insure a new bike purchased from a dealer there is a period of time in which your insurer would simply replace your motorcycle with a new vehicle of the same make and specification. * Check before you assume this to be the case! In many cases the insurer will first deduct an amount for wear, tear and loss of value. The most the insurer will pay is the market value of your motorcycle at the time of the loss.

If you are paying for your motorcycle under a hire-purchase or leasing agreement, your bike insurer will generally pay any claim to the owner described in that agreement and then terminate the policy at that point!
If your motorcycle cannot be ridden as a result of damage insured under the policy, many insuranceance policies will still make a payment to you for recovery, repair and delivery back to your home. * Check before you assume this to be the case!

You may be expected to pay an excess if your motorcycle is lost, stolen, or damaged as shown in the summary of cover and excesses.

Third Party Only
This will only pay compensation to the other party involved in an accident. You will not be entitled to claim any money personally.

There are two types of Motorbike Insurance policy:

Specified Rider Policy
A specified rider policy will cover the rider of a motorcycle, not the motorcycle. This is by far the most common insurance policy sold today.Should a rider get such a policy then that rider would be able to ride any motorcycle up to a particular size and still be covered by hos insurance policy.

Specified bike policy
A specified bike policy will only cover the motorbike and not the rider. It is more than likely that you will not be quoted for this tyoe of policy when you get a quote unless you specifically ask. A specified bike policy is a great way to insure a number of riders on the same bike.
