Who are Biker Insure?

Established 2006: 20 years serving UK motorcyclists

Biker Insure is a UK based, independently owned motorbike insurance specialist. Riders can compare quotes and policies using a free, unbiased and independent motorbike insurance comparison service.

Who owns Biker Insure?

Biker Insure is a fully independent, stand alone UK motorbike insurance specialist with no ties to any broker, insurer, or larger corporate group. This independence ensures full impartiality. Put your details in, get your quotes, pick one - it's as simple as that.

Most importantly, Biker Insure is owned and run by a lifelong biker. Perhaps I should introduce myself...

My name is Mark Hopwood, and I'm addicted to motorbikes!

I've been riding bikes for 29 years, and dreaming about them for much longer.

My first bike was an F-reg Yamaha TZR125, which I bought in 1997. As a 17 year old, the insurance cost more than the bike - but it was definitely worth it!

After passing my test, and two years riding a grey import Honda Bros 400, I spent most of the early 2000’s riding various sportsbikes including my favourite, a 1999 Kawasaki ZX7R. We did 40,000 miles together commuting, having weekend fun and touring up through Norway to the Arctic Circle.

My previous bike, a ZX636, possibly marked the end of my sportsbike riding era. It was traded in for a Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+, which provides a more comfortable and compliant, yet still exciting ride on the remote Scottish roads around where I live.

I run Biker Insure from my home on the west coast of the Scottish Highlands.
