Your broker will talk through what's needed to find you the best motorbike insurance solution, but most insurers will ask you to provide the following information: 

• the make, model and registration of your motorbike 
• the year it was manufactured
• any modifications after manufacture
• the value of your motorbike and the date you bought it
• how long you’ve had your motorbike licence
• any claims or convictions
• any additional riders, including any claims and convictions they may have had
• any special security devices you carry or have had fitted to your motorbike

Our brokers will look for the most cost-effective solution to meet your needs and provide you with the right cover. But when it comes to motorbikes there's a few other things that can help you reduce costs:

• Maintain a good driving history. Some insurers give discounts for clean driving records.
• Consider completing a defensive driving course. Riders with advanced motorbike qualifications could be eligible for lower premiums.
• If possible, store your motorcycles in an enclosed garage or carport to reduce the risk of theft.
• Consider what you buy. The likelihood of theft is also taken into account by insurers, with some models of motorbikes more likely to get stolen than others.
