A bit about Honda before you compare Honda motorcycle insurance

Honda are the largest of the “Big 4” Japanese motorcycle manufacturers. Alongside Yamaha, Kawasaki and Suzuki, Honda led these four brands as they displaced the British bike industry in the 1970's - and fuelled the growth of UK motorcycling into the modern era. Today, Honda are the biggest motorcycle brand in the world!

Anyone who was riding or interested in bikes in the 1980’s or 1990’s will remember so many ground-breaking, genre defining Hondas.

CBR's, VFR's, Goldwings, Pan Europeans, Blackbirds, RC45's - all these iconinc bikes had pivotal or leading places in their respective motorcycling niches.

And it might not be the most glamorous bike, but it would be remiss to talk about two-wheeled Hondas without mentioning the venerated Honda C90 - true transport for the masses.

Honda Fireblade

Here at Biker Insure, we're of a certain age that our memories of Honda are intrinsically linked with a certain 900cc sportsbike - the FireBlade.

Prior to the Blade's launch in 1992, bikes from competing manufacturers were becoming increasingly fast and powerful - but also heavy and relatively slow handling. At the time, Suzuki's hugely powerful GSX-R1100 and Yamaha's FZR1000 were the "superbike" kings - with Honda's CBR1000 being the best the big H could offer. It was a good bike, but not as desirable as the Yamaha or Suzuki, and was more of a fast armchair (alongside Kawasaki's ZZR1100).

Whilst the Fireblade didn't offer anything particularly revolutionary in terms of engineering or technology at its launch, it was the Blade's combination of handling, light weight (32kg lighter than the FZR), compact design and power that caused the bike to completely upend the competition and become a benchmark for superbikes. The Fireblade lit the touch paper for massive leaps forward in superbike development that was to come over the next two decades, and really set the blueprint for modern bike design. Despite being bested only six years into its reign by the launch of Yamaha's 1998 R1, the Honda Fireblade is still seen by many as the father of modern superbikes.

Our favourite was the MKII or "foxeye" Fireblade, resplendent in Urban Tiger colours!

Today, Honda is still at the forefront of motorcycle technology, but the demise in popularity of the superbike class - which are now often seen as redundant on the road (especially given an aging biker population and increasing speed restrictions), has led to the latest iteration of the Fireblade being more of an uncompromising, revvy racetrack refugee than a useable road bike. Even the CBR600 has disappeared from the Honda range, which now has a definite focus on street bikes, adventure bikes and scooters.

What are Honda best known for?

Honda are perhaps best known for producing motorcycles that are incredibly reliable and extremely well built. Even their performance machines are typically capable of racking up large mileages (indeed, many an older generation Fireblade has been used as a courier hack over the years!)

Whether you own a Honda sportsbike, a middleweight roadster, or tourer or adventure bike, we can help you find cheaper Honda motorcycle insurance.

Honda motorcycle insurance

Just like other types of motorbike insurance, Honda bike insurance typically covers damage or theft of the motorcycle, as well as injuries or damage caused by the motorcycle or its rider. The extent of cover available depends on the policy type you choose. Go fully comprehensive for more extensive insurance cover on your Honda, opt for Third Party, or even Third Party Fire And Theft. Please note that third party options are not necessarily always cheaper than fully comprehensive, so be sure to compare different cover options before you take out a policy.

It's also important to check policy details with your broker before your buy to ensure you are happy with the level of cover provided in your Honda bike policy.

How much is insurance for a Honda motorcycle?
