Classic bike insurance is for all you bikers out there who hankered over Harley’s and Triumphs in your youth. For most classic bike enthusiasts the motorbikes of your dreams were rode by film stars or people you looked up to as a kid. Owning a classic bike is more about the way it makes you feel and its history than the way it rides.

Classic bikes can be of any make, so it does not only apply to old Harley Davidsons and tourers. Classic bike insurance is usually cheaper than cover for modern bikes. This is mainly because there are fewer claims on these types of bikes. For a bike to be eligible for classic motorbike insurance it must have been made and registered before 1983.

However, if you need cover for a motorcycle which was made between 1983 and 1998 some providers do offer modern classic bike insurance. If you never intend on riding your classic bike you can take out a storage policy which covers the bike for fire and theft and is usually cheaper. One thing to keep in mind when taking out a storage policy is if you want to tow your bike on a trailer you must check if your policy covers damage during transit. If it does not your car insurance may offer cover you for towed items.
