Motorcycle Insurance Cover Levels

To get the right policy for your Motorbike, it's important to understand your cover options. Consider the level of cover for your needs.

Comprehensive

This is the most extensive level of motorbike insurance cover. Fully Comprehensive motorcycle insurance includes:

  • Damage to your own bike and any third party from accidents – whether it's your fault or not

  • Fire damage, theft and compensation for your damaged bike (replacement only if less than 1 year old and policy terms apply)

As the name suggests, it's the most comprehensive cover for your vehicle.

Third party, fire and theft (TPFT)

This option covers you for:

  • Injury to other people, or damage to vehicles or property in the case of an accident

  • If your motorbike is stolen or damaged from an attempted theft

  • Fire damage

If you're responsible for an accident, third party fire and theft (TPFT) doesn't cover the cost of repairing your motorbike.

Third party only (TPO)

This is the minimum legal cover in the UK. It covers you for:

  • Any damage you cause to someone else’s property or person.

  • It doesn't cover damage to your own moped or scooter or injury to yourself. It also won't cover the costs of replacing your vehicle if it's stolen, or fire damage.

We offer optional add-ons to enhance your motorbike insurance policy. Discover more about upgrades and extras

  • Your number plate
  • The make and model of your bike
  • Your annual mileage
  • How many years no claims bonus you have

What types of motorcycles do Lexham insure?

Motorbikes are loosely broken down into 6 main categories: street, cruiser, custom, sport, tourer, and dual sport. Our specialist broking team can help you get the best insurance, whatever type you own. We compare insurance quotes from our panel of UK Insurers to find the most suitable cover for you.

If you’re looking to insure an older bike, we also offer classic motorcycle insurance.

Do Lexham offer insurance to young riders?

Yes, Lexham offers specialist insurance for young riders and provides motorbike insurance to anyone aged 16 to 75, for various uses. Whether you ride just for fun at the weekends weekends or you commute to work or college every day; we have low-cost rates for all levels of experience.

How much does motorcycle insurance cost?

The cost of your insurance will depend on a range of different factors, such as the type of bike you own, the age of the bike, and the age of the rider, to name a few.

Lexham is committed to providing insurance policies on a wide range of different two-wheeled vehicles, brought to you by our panel of Insurers. We compare all our Insurers and their products to offer you the most suitable insurance quotation for both you and your bike.

Can I carry passengers?

You'll be asked if you require pillion use as part of the quotation. This can be included provided you have the right licence entitlement.

Can I ride abroad?

Each Insurer will have their own terms and conditions but most offer 90 days annually with a maximum of 30 days at any one time. Be sure to check your policy or ask your insurers before you begin your trip.

Does motorcycle insurance cover bike modifications?

If your bike has been modified, you will need to let us know what these modifications are during both the quotation process and throughout your policy.

At Lexham, we look for the very best deal for you from our panel of UK Insurers, and many common modifications are likely to be covered. However, we cannot guarantee we’ll be able to offer insurance. If you are unsure, please contact us for more information. Please be aware, that bike modifications are likely to increase your premium.

Can I ride someone else's bike using my insurance policy?

Some Insurers will offer this extension but check your policy wording carefully or call us as if it is provided there are usually terms and conditions like restrictions on the capacity. The cover is normally only Third-party Only regardless of your cover and the vehicle must always have insurance in the owner's name.

Can I add another bike to my insurance policy?

Yes. We offer competitive multi-vehicle insurance for customers who own more than one bike. For a multi-vehicle motorbike insurance policy, please call our broking team on 01379 646 529.
