Looking for a better deal on motorbike insurance? Here are our top five tips:

1. Read our motorbike insurance guide - get all the background knowledge you need to find the right deal.

2. Consider smaller insurance companies – some of the big name insurers don’t cover motorcycles.

3. Choose the right level of cover and excess for you – don’t let low prices tempt you into buying a motorbike insurance policy that doesn’t give you enough cover.

4. Pay for the whole year in advance – paying for your motorbike insurance on a monthly basis is often more expensive, because you’re charged interest.

5. Shop around – don’t take the first quote you’re offered. Try a price comparison site to compare quotes from lots of providers quickly and easily. We recommend The Bike Insurer.
