Kawasaki Insurance

Kawasaki Insurance

Like other types of motorcycle insurance, Kawasaki motorbike insurance typically covers damage or theft of the motorcycle, as well as injuries or damage caused by the bike 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 Kawasaki, opt for Third Party, or even Third Party Fire And Theft.

Remember that third party options are not necessarily cheaper than fully comprehensive, so be sure to compare different cover options before you take out a policy.

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

Levels of Kawasaki insurance cover

When deciding on the right level of Kawasaki insurance for you, there are three main options to consider (follow the links for more detailed information):

• Third Party Only (TPO) Kawasaki insurance
• Third Party Fire & Theft (TPFT) Kawasaki insurance
• Comprehensive (Fully Comp) Kawasaki insurance

These policies build upon each other, with each higher tier offering additional protection. TPO is the basic legal requirement for Kawasaki riders on UK roads. It covers damages you might cause to others or their property, but doesn't protect your Kawasaki. TPFT includes TPO coverage, adding protection against theft and fire damage to your Kawasaki.

Fully Comprehensive offers the most extensive protection for your Kawasaki. It includes everything in TPFT, plus coverage for your own motorbike in accidents, even if they're your fault. It may also cover accidental damage when you're not riding and often allows you to ride other bikes with TPO coverage.

Remember, specific coverage details can vary between insurers, so always review your Kawasaki policy carefully.

How much is Kawasaki motorbike insurance?

The cost of your Kawasaki motorbike insurance will vary depending on a number of factors including the model and age of your bike (a new ZX10 will typically cost more than a 10 year old ER6 for example), your riding record, where you live, your age, plus the type of 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 Kawasaki insurance policy for your individual circumstances and budget.

Kawasaki Insurance FAQs

A potted history of Kawasaki

Kawasaki first started making small capacity motorcycle engines in the early 1950’s as a spin-off from Kawasaki Heavy Industries. The engines were fitted to bikes built by the Kawasaki aircraft company under the name “Meihatsu”, but it wasn’t until 1957 and the introduction of the improved Meihatsu 125 and its improved KB-5A engine that the bikes began to see the introduction of Kawasaki branding on side covers.

It was perhaps telling that the “original Kawasaki” – the Meihatsu 125 Deluxe - set a top speed for its category, whilst proving to be incredibly reliable.

In 1960, a factory dedicated exclusively to motorcycle production was completed. The 125cc range was added to in 1966 by the introduction of the 4-stroke 650 W1, and 2-stroke 250cc A1 (a bike with phenomenal performance for the time).

And then in 1969, Kawasaki released the H1 Mach III – a snarling, popping, evil 500cc 2-stroke triple. Fastest machine in class, and a bike that really lit the green (sic) touchpaper for what the Kawasaki brand was to become best known for.

Just three years later in 1972, the legend of the Z1 was born. The most powerful bike of its time, the 4-cylinder 900cc (along with Honda’s CB750) helped set the direction of travel for inline 4-cylinder, 4-stroke machines that was to dominate performance motorcycle engine layout right up until the present day.

Production of various big Zeds continued throughout the 1970’s and early 80’s, until it was time for Kawasaki’s next real ground-breaking bike, the GPz900R – which was also Kawasaki’s first use of the now ubiquitous Ninja sports bike branding. The GPZ was the world’s first 16v liquid cooled inline-4, and the first production bike to exceed 150mph. It was to be a bike that cemented Kawasaki firmly as the king of motorcycling speed. Debatably, when it’s power, speed and handling were taken into consideration, it was probably the worlds first “superbike”.

A year later, Kawasaki also gave birth to the supersports class with the GPZ600R.

1988 saw the introduction of the ZX10, another heavyweight top-speed record breaker for Kawasaki and predecessor to Kawasaki’s next high-speed champion, the infamous ZZR1100.

The modern era ushered in various new Kawasaki models, but still the brand had a firm emphasis on raucous, speed-oriented bikes. The 90’s saw various iterations of 600, 750, and 900cc mean greenies but the brand did begin to lose some of its edge in the face of stiff competition from the main Japanese rivals (although the flighty 2004 ZX10 did manage to redress some of the balance and re-establish Kawasaki as the bad boy of biking).

Nevertheless, Kawasaki has always remained a popular choice for UK bikers, and that seems set to continue well into the future.

The latest supercharged range of Kawasaki’s – spearheaded by the ludicrous H2R and H2SX - have ushered in a new dawn of speed and power for the brand. This, in combination with new technologies such as electric/hybrid powered bikes show that Kawasaki continue to innovate and take risks at the cutting edge of motorcycle design and development.

Kawasaki have also been instrumental in reviving the four-cylinder supersport segment by reintroducing two key models: the ZX-6R and the ZX-4RR. These bikes represent a return to the inline four sportsbike configuration that was so popular in the early 2000s, and are a distinct counter to the sporty (but softer) parallel twins that have come to dominate the middleweight sportsbike market.

Kawasaki are also keeping the Japanese 1000cc superbike flag flying with the ZX10, which remains in the range despite both Suzuki dropping the GSXR1000, and Yamaha the R1 - hopefully (along with Honda's Fireblade) ensuring the continuation of the Japanese inline-four superbike legacy.
