About Biker Insure

Who are Biker Insure?

Established 2006: 20 years serving UK motorcyclists

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

Compare insurance quotes for most makes, models and types of motorbike using a panel of over 25 FCA regulated UK motorbike insurance specialists.

Who owns Biker Insure?

Biker Insure isn’t just another faceless motorbike insurance website. We’re not part of a wider group of multiple brands, and operate as a fully independent UK business. We’re based in the UK, hosted in the UK, and pay tax in the UK - with no offshore structures or complex corporate arrangements.

More 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 last 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 much more 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.

Quote results from the comparison system are fully automated, provided with 100% impartiality, and determined solely by price competitiveness based on the information you provide about yourself and your motorbike.

Although commissions between brokers can sometimes vary, this does not have any bearing on where they rank - the order of which is based entirely on price competitiveness at the time of your quote.

The quote comparison system is provided by Seopa Ltd, an award winning provider of insurance comparison solutions based in Belfast, NI.

The system is easy to use, fast, secure and completely impartial. The quotes provided are based entirely on your individual circumstances. With 51% of bikers paying less than £255 for their motorbike policy*, you could save money too!

If you’ve already used another provider to compare quotes, there’s nothing to lose by running another comparison.

In fact, it's often worth getting quotes from more than one motorbike insurance comparison site. Different quote engines and question sets can result in small price variations even when the same insurers are shown, and you may occasionally find short term or exclusive deals that aren’t available elsewhere.
