What this example assumes

Every price on the price page for this example is worked out for the same bike and rider. That keeps the comparison even. The example assumes:

  • A bike above 750cc, registered 1 year ago
  • A male rider aged 45, with a licence held 10 years or more
  • A 20% NCD and no claims
  • Private use

Change any of these and the price can change. A rider with a claim on record, a delivery rider or a smaller bike would be a different example.

What moves the price for this example

Insurers weigh a few things when they price a big bike. Some matter more to one insurer than to another. That is why five insurers give five different prices for the same rider.

  • The bike. Engine size and the age of the bike both count. This example is above 750cc and registered 1 year ago.
  • The rider. Age, sex and years of licence all feed in. This rider is 45 and has held a licence for 10 years or more.
  • The riding record. A 20% NCD with no claims reflects a clean record. A claim would change the picture.
  • How the bike is used. This example is private use. Work use is priced differently.
  • What the plan covers. Two plans at different prices may not protect you in the same way. The next section shows where.

What the lowest-priced plans usually trim

A low premium is often the result of less cover, a higher excess or fewer extras. None of this is wrong. It just needs to be on your radar before you compare.

Excess

The excess is the amount you pay towards a claim before the insurer pays. A plan with a higher excess can cost less up front. It then costs you more on the day you claim.

Limits

Limits cap what the insurer pays for a type of loss. Check the limit for injury to other people and damage to their property. Also check the limit for rider personal accident cover. A lower limit can mean a lower price.

Add-ons

Some things are included on one plan and left out of another. These are the items to look for:

  • Helmet and riding gear cover, which is offered on some plans only
  • Towing and roadside help after a breakdown or accident
  • Personal accident cover for the rider

Comprehensive cover is meant to protect the bike from accidents, fire and theft. It also covers injury and damage to other people. Read what each plan lists before you treat two prices as the same product.

What no plan covers

Some limits apply however much you pay. Motorcycle insurance does not cover:

  • Riding under the influence of alcohol or drugs
  • Riders not named on the policy, riding outside its terms, or riding without the right licence class
  • Racing, track days and stunts
  • Wear and tear, and mechanical breakdown

What today's prices are and are not

The motorcycle prices on this page are estimates, and the lowest one is an estimate too. They are worked out for the bike and rider described above. Each insurer prices the exact bike, rider and riding record when you press Buy Now. The final premium can differ.

So read the range as a guide to how far apart insurers sit for this example. It is not a promise of what you will pay.

When paying more is worth it, and when it is not

A higher price is not always better value. A lower price is not always a trap. It depends on what you use the bike for and what you can afford to pay if something goes wrong.

A lower-priced plan is better for a rider who:

  • Is happy with the cover as listed and has checked what it leaves out
  • Can pay a higher excess from savings without strain
  • Already has gear cover or roadside help elsewhere

A higher-priced plan is better for a rider who:

  • Wants helmet and gear cover, or towing and roadside help, built into the plan
  • Prefers a lower excess, so a claim costs less on the day
  • Wants higher limits for injury to others and for rider personal accident cover

Paying more is harder to justify if the extras are ones you will never use. It is also hard to justify if you have not checked that the extra cover is real. The test is simple. Ask what you get for the extra money.

How to compare like for like

A fair comparison holds the bike and rider steady and looks at the cover. Work down this list for each plan:

  1. Check the example fits you. Compare your bike, age, licence years, NCD and use against the assumptions above.
  2. Compare the excess. Note what you would pay on a claim under each plan.
  3. Compare the limits. Look at third-party injury, third-party property and rider personal accident.
  4. Compare the add-ons. Note which plans include gear cover, towing and roadside help.
  5. Check the exclusions. Make sure you are named on the policy and hold the right licence class.
  6. Then compare the price. Only now does a gap of a few dollars mean something.

You can see the plans side by side on the motorcycle comparison page. Press Buy Now on a plan to have the insurer price your exact bike and riding record. You can read about the process after a loss on the claims page.
