Those who enjoy the thrill and practicality as well as the cost effectiveness of riding a motorcycle and yet struggle when it comes to being able to safely put their feet on the ground, will be pleased to hear of Yamaha’s new lowering kit has been added to their range of parts and accessories for the latest WR1125 models.

Having the lowering kit is being seen as a positive way for riders to be able to handle their bikes more effectively which it is hoped will lower accidents and therefore insurance claims. The kit lowers the bike by up to twenty millimetres which offers the potential for safer riding.

The increase in the number of 125cc bikes is expected to alter dramatically as the recession still has a firm hold on many people’s spending power, and whilst the summer months historically sees an influx of ‘fair weather riders’ it has been suggested that riders will be more inclined to keep their bike on the road further into the autumn and winter months than ever before.

Whilst this is great news for the bike manufacturers, there are many who are sceptical about the potential rise in accidents this may cause, due to these riders having little, if any, experience riding in adverse weather conditions.

There is a vast difference between riding on dry roads and wet ones, whilst ice, snow and fog are other potential hazards many of these riders have ever experienced. Advise is being given for riders, especially young inexperienced riders, to take approved driving courses which not only help them be more prepared for driving in all weather and road conditions, it will also help to lower their current and future insurance costs, as riders are more likely to be able to build a no claims record if they are safer riders.

Yamaha owners can also benefit from insurance which has been designed specifically for these machines. Many of the major motorbike insurers have dedicated teams of consultants who are fully aware of the range of bikes, the different capabilities and performance these bikes offer which enables them to customise insurance to suit riders needs.

From scooters, including their newly launched Majesty 400 which has been one of Europe’s most popular middleweight scooters due to its manoeuvrability, practicality and performance to cruisers, competitive insurance is high on the agenda of many riders priority list.

The specialist insurers are also able to offer advice on how you can lower the premiums, from ensuring your bike has sufficient security measures, if not included with your specific model, to recommending enhanced security such as having identification marking added to help make the lives of thieves more difficult, as well as offering discounts if you keep your bike in a securely locked garage when it’s not being ridden, preferably with an anchor point built into the floor of the garage.

To ensure you have adequate and competitive Yamaha motorbike insurance it is advisable to opt for insurance companies who have expertise and knowledge of these bikes and scooters.
