Honda Motorbike 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 for your Honda, opt for Third Party, or even Third Party Fire & Theft.

Third party options are not necessarily cheaper than fully comprehensive, so be sure to compare different levels of cover 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 motorbike policy.

How much is Honda motorcycle insurance?

The cost of your Honda bike insurance will vary depending on a number of factors including the model and age of your bike (a new CBR1000RR will typically cost more than an old CB500 for example), your riding record, where you live, your age, plus the type of Honda cover required and more.

Because every rider and bike combination is unique, it's always a good idea to compare quotes from multiple brokers to find the best policy for your individual circumstances and budget.

A bit about Honda bikes...

Honda are the largest of the “Big 4” Japanese motorcycle manufacturers.

Alongside Yamaha, Kawasaki and Suzuki, Honda led the four brands as they displaced the British bike industry in the 1970's, fuelling the growth of UK motorcycling into the modern era.

Today, Honda are the biggest motorcycle brand in the world. The latest worldwide sales figures from 2024 were over 20 million bikes sold, which is 40% of the market. To put this into context, BMW Motorrad shifted 210,408 bikes during the same period (which was also a record breaking year for the bavarian brand).

How we remember Honda bikes

Anyone who was riding or interested in bikes in the 1980’s or 1990’s will remember so many ground-breaking and 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 venerable Honda C90 - true affordable transport for the masses.

The Honda Fireblade

Here at Biker Insure, we're of a certain age where 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 jellymould CBR1000 being the best the big H could offer. It was a good bike, but not as desirable as the Yamaha or Suzuki, and (along with Kawasaki's ZZR1100) was more of a fast armchair.

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 several massive forward leaps in superbike development that was to come over the next two decades, and really set the blueprint for modern bike design. Despite being deposed 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 of course in shellsuit "Urban Tiger" colours!

Today, Honda is still at the forefront of motorcycle technology. The Fireblade is still going strong (albeit with more of a track focus), in the face of arch rivals Yamaha and Suzuki dropping their litre bikes. Despite being off the books for a couple of years, the CBR600RR has also made a well received comeback.

For 2025, it's the CB1000 Horet and Hornet SP that are ruffling feathers in the biking community - bucking the trend for ever increasing costs with a price that on the face of it seems almost too good to be true for a full fat 1,000cc naked bike with all the bells and whistles. Although getting insurance for a CB1000 probably wont be an issue, actually managing to buy one might be the biggest problem for most!

Of course as well as CBRs and CBs, Honda are still producing the Africa Twin, Goldwing, NT1100 and CMX models - as well as a host of scooters and small capacity models.

What are Honda best known for?

Honda are perhaps best known for producing motorcycles that are incredibly reliable and extremely well built (although this arguably peaked during the HRC years). 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).
