Although as I write we’re in the middle of one of the hottest, driest summers on record and, at the same time, when it comes to motorcycle storage and protection, most of us would prefer to keep our bikes in a warm, dry, secure garage or shed, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get a quality motorcycle cover for you bike. 

A motorcycle cover can not only protect your bike from the worst of the weather when stored outside, they also help keep it secure by hiding it from prying eyes, and can even be used indoors as a dust cover to maintain your machine to the max. 

Accordingly, there are lots of different types available, too, ranging from heavy duty, waterproof, all-season year-round designs, lightweight rain-proof versions, ones created specifically to fit larger adventure bikes and even, GP-style sports bike ones – and across a whole range of budgets, too. 

But what’s available? Which type should you go for? And which is the best? To find out we’ve looked at five specific outdoor types (indoor covers we’ll save for another time) and have based our choices on the highest rated examples as bought at SportsBikeShop –  the UK’s biggest motorcycle accessory retailer. 

The online specialists sell thousands of items every year, enables buyers to rate their purchases out of five and their cumulative results give us – and you – the best possible guide to the highest rated motorcycle covers currently available. 

So, without further ado, here is our best rated motorcycle covers of 2025! 

The motorcycle cover with the highest overall customer rating on SportsbikeShop is the Oxford Stormex as sold by leading British motorcycle accessories brand Oxford Products – and you don’t have to take just their rating for it, the Stormex has also been awarded a ‘Recommended’ rating by leading motorcycle magazine RiDE. 

With over 1000 reviews, SportsBikeShop customers have awarded it an average rating of 4.8/5. It comes in four different sizes, features a tough outer to protect against weather and knocks, has a soft, heat-resistant lining to guard against scratches, has reflective panels to increase visibility if parked on the street at night, strategically positioned holes to facilitate the use of a lock and even a crafty lock ‘pouch’ to keep your padlock off the ground. 

One reviewer said: “I bought this as we don't have a garage and on recommendation from a friend. It is well made and perfect for my needs. Love it!” 

Best of all, though, usually £79.99, it’s currently on offer at SportsbikeShop for just £59.99!

The Aquatex motorcycle cover, also from Oxford Products, is the second most highly rated bike cover on SportsbikeShop.co.uk with an average rating from over 1100 reviews of 4.7/5. It’s also got a RiDE magazine ‘Best Buy’ recommendation. 

It’s a cheaper, lightweight design compared to the highest rated Stormex, and is intended as a more affordable, portable and versatile cover. It’s again available in four different sizes, is this time a ‘single skin’ design made out of double stitched nylon but also has the bonus of storing away compactly when not in use, meaning you can also take it on a holiday or trip away. 

One reviewer wrote: “A good cover for up to medium sized motorbikes. Good coverage and waterproof.” 

Even better, already very affordable at £24.99, the Aquatex is also currently on offer at SportsbikeShop.co.uk for just £19.99! 

The third most highly rated motorcycle cover listed on SportsbikeShop.co.uk also happens to be one of the largest and one which is specifically designed for use with the popular adventure bike category. Over 74 owners’ reviews on the site the R&G Adventure motorcycle cover have received an average rating of 4.6. 

It’s based on R&G’s original, award-winning Superbike Cover, is made of the same waterproof material but re-designed to fit adventure and touring sized bikes and include many new features, such as an elasticated rim and ‘belly straps’ to help it stay in place, ensure a tight fit around the base and to stop wind, mud or water getting up inside.

There are also front and rear chain loops for security devices, high-visibility reflective logos and trim for additional visibility at night and a clear PVC rear ‘window’ allowing the number plate to be visible but incorporating an internal 'curtain' for it to be covered if desired. 

One reviewer wrote: “Great quality, snug fit that keeps out all weather.” 

Normally £64.99, it’s currently being offered with a 10% discount taking it down to just £57.84. 

For those who want simply a heavy duty, rain-proof bike cover at a good price and with no frills, the best-selling and most highly rated example SportsbikeShop.co.uk currently offer is the BikeIt Heavy Duty Rain Cover, with its 25 owner reviews translating into an average rating of 4.2/5. 

It’s constructed from fully waterproof PVC which is also claimed to be UV-resistant, comes in a range of sizes (although owners recommend going up a size), has a plain, unfussy design, comes complete with a storage bag and is very affordable. 

One reviewer wrote: “Really good product, covers my bike and made from study material, even has clip to stop blowing away. Really quick delivery too!” 

Normally £29.99 it’s currently on offer for just £21.95. 

Finally, in our Top 5 selection, something for sportsbike fans who like a bit of MotoGP association. The MotoGP branded motorcycle waterproof rain cover is SportsbikeShop's fifth highest rated bike cover overall with 367 reviews at an average score of 4.8 (SportsbikeShop’s reviews are skewed according to number of reviews). 

It's intended as a protective, waterproof rain cover for sports bikes, has a 210D nylon shell, a fully protective lining with a heat-resistant section, an adjustable under-bike webbing strap with ‘klik-fast’ buckle and comes complete with a storage bag and printed MotoGP design. 

One reviewer said: “Good quality, fits really well, packs away small, but feels very substantial. Good cover.” 

Best of all, normally £74.99, SportsbikeShop.co.uk is currently offering the large MotoGP cover for a bargain £22.99.
