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 are proud to be a completely independent UK business.
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 28 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.
Why trust Biker Insure?
Personal experience and expertise
I have been riding bikes since 1997, and writing about motorbike insurance since 2006. This industry knowledge combined with real world biking experience ensures the content is unique, helpful and grounded in practical, first hand knowledge that riders can trust.
I'll never use agencies, freelancers or marketing companies to create any of the content or guides - which is all written entirely by me.
Authorised
I'm registered as an Introducer Appointed Representative of Seopa Ltd, who are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. The FCA exists to to protect UK consumers by setting out rules to make sure consumers are treated fairly.
Trustworthy
I'll never recommend or promote any one bike broker over another in my content, the goal of which is to help bikers make better informed decisions for themselves.
Impartiality
Quote results from the comparison system are fully automated, provided with 100% impartiality, and based entirely 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 cost of your policy is not affected in any way by broker commissions.
Biker Insure history
The original Biker Insure website launched in 2006. I wanted to combine a lifelong interest in motorcycles with something I hoped might one day provide a living. Back then it was primarily a motorcycle insurance directory and information resource, but there have been a lot of changes over the years.
In 2021 I partnered with Seopa Ltd, an early pioneer of online comparison technology. This partnership enabled me to offer motorbike insurance comparison services directly via the Biker Insure website.
I’m now working to raise awareness of the Biker Insure brand as a go-to choice for motorbike insurance comparison, and hope to help an increasing number of bikers find the right insurance for their needs and budget.
I believe Biker Insure brings something unique to the motorbike insurance space and hope you do too. So if you like the site and have saved money on your motorbike insurance, please spread the word to other riders and mention Biker Insure either online or in person. It would really mean a lot, and enable the site to reach more people.

What is the comparison engine behind Biker Insure?
The quote comparison system is provided by Seopa Ltd, an award winning provider of insurance comparison solutions based in Belfast, NI.
To provide this service to our customers, Biker Insure must satisfy and continue to uphold certain legal and regulatory standards.
Why compare via Biker Insure?
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 a good idea to get quotes from several motorbike insurance comparison sites. Different platforms may use their own quote engines using slightly different questions. This can lead to small variations in prices - even if the same insurers are listed. You might also come across exclusive deals or short-term promotions that don’t appear anywhere else.
Can you provide advice on my motorbike insurance?
I can't give individual insurance advice or recommendations, but if you have any questions or feedback, please get in touch via the contact page.
I’ll be really happy if you are able to save money when comparing via Biker Insure.
In the meantime, see you on the road!
