FAQs

What kind of motorbike is best to drive for older motorcyclists?

Although your old 70s bike may look great, that doesn’t necessarily mean it is the best weight, offers you the right power or has the best handling for your needs. It might be time to ditch the old motorbike and find a smaller bike that gives you freedom and control. Take a look at our guide to the best 125cc bikes.

You might also want to consider a retro-styled bike, which has the look and feel of a bike from the 60s and 70s, but the safety features of the present day. Take a look at our best retro bike lists:

Who has the lowest price on motorcycle insurance?

Mature riders are often able to get cheaper motorcycle insurance compared to younger riders. This is because older riders tend to have more experience on the road.

At what age does a motorcycle become a classic?

In general, once a motorbike has been around for 30 years, it can be considered a classic. However, there are some exceptions. Read our guide on how old a motorbike has to be to get classic insurance to find out more.

Are older bikes cheaper to insure?

Not necessarily, though older bikes can be affordable to insure through a specialist broker like Bikesure. Call our team if you’re looking for classic bike insurance.

Better Insurance for Classic Bikes

Zero excess, and I can ride my friends’ bikes!

“When I bought a classic motorbike I didn’t realise I’d have trouble getting the cover I needed. I had always ridden modern motorbikes and regularly took advantage of the ‘riding other bikes’ clause on my insurance – but it seems this cover isn’t available on classic bike insurance. Amazingly, Bikesure gave me this cover, and with a zero excess, all at classic bike insurance rates.”
