Ducati bike insurance

Published: Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Below is a comprehensive guide to cheap Ducati bike insurance and where to get the best quote.

Ducati bike insurance has been around for as long as the motorbikes themselves. The Ducati is something most bikers will aspire to ride, they are the Ferrari of the motorbike world, the chocolate chips in vanilla ice cream and simply the must-have bike for serious speed freaks, which is why insurance for Ducati bikes is so essential.
Ducati bike insurance can be found at affordable prices if you know where to look and it is hugely important as statistics show that motorcyclists are around 30 times more likely to have an accident than car drivers.

Ducati is still going strong in 2010 and has seen many changes over the year but still retains its gnarly looks. The Monster accounts for around 50% of Ducati’s new worldwide sales and insurance for Ducati bikes is a must if you get one of these machines.

Cheap Ducati Bike Insurance

If you want to reduce the cost of your Ducati bike insurance over the long term and make big savings you could take a Bikesafe course, which can reduce your premiums by 10% and cost as little as £30.00.

The amount you use your Ducati motorbike and the miles you clock up over a year will affect the amount you pay for your Ducati bike insurance. Be as specific as possible and try to use your bike only for social purposes. Some insurers allow you to specify a single place of work which can help keep the price down.

Where you keep your bike at night can affect how much you pay for your Ducati bike insurance. If you have access to a garage, park your motorbike in there overnight to keep it safe.

When you get a Ducati bike insurance quote the amount you pay will be affected by what kind of security your bike is fitted with. You can fit for example an Oxford Hardcore Chain and padlock which costs around £45.00 and an Abletronics alarm for around £250.00 to help greatly reduce the cost of your cover. Fitting security obviously makes your bike harder steal so the more precautions you can take the better.

Your Ducati bike insurance should cover you against:

  • Theft
  • Damage
  • Accidents
  • Fire

Ideally you should take out comprehensive insurance to cover the cost of damage to your vehicle as well as the other vehicle. However you can usually obtain cheaper bike insurance if you take out third party fire and theft.
