Motorcycle Group Insurance

Unlike cars their is no specific / standard motorcycle insurance group rating system in the UK. This can make it somewhat more tricky when attempting to understand how high or low the premium could be for your bike.

Therefore to make sure you and your motorcycle are protected for all the events, and incidents that might occur it is important that you thoroughly read through your motorcycle insurance documentation, before accepting any firm offers. A good motorcycle insurer will guide you through the intricacies of selecting the most suitable deal.

Historically most UK insurance companies relied on a group rating system devised by Norwich Union. This comprised of 17 motorcycle groups and was often used to classify the different bikes and specifications.

However with the coming of the ultra powerful sports bikes such as the Honda CBR Fireblade, and bikes from Ducati, Suzuki and Kawasaki etc., some companies will use up an alpha-numeric system comprising up to 25 group categories with prefix A-J. Always consult your chosen provider for further information and assistance.
