Motorbike manufacturers BMW remain forefront in producing motorbikes to meet the demands of consumers and have included many of the latest innovations to help riders find their routes quickly and effectively.

BMW Motorrand and Garmin have produced a Sat Nav suitable for their bikes which has the usual touch screen ease of use even when gloves are being worn, audio directions which can be used with both a Bluetooth helmet or headset, as well as a customised mount.

This new GPS device has been designed to help riders travel safely with turn by turn directions, enabling them to keep focused on the road ahead.

BMW have been producing bikes for over eighty years, many of which are amazingly still on the road! Their range of motorbikes and scooters offers a wide choice riders who expert the performance and reliability the manufacturers are famed for.

The insurance for these bikes are competitively priced with many online insurers offering the usual rider discounts, for those who are eligible, along with special offers and further discounts for buying a policy online for newer models.

Motorbike owners who ride classic models will need to phone and speak with the insurers to ensure they have the most appropriate insurance at the most affordable costs. As such it would be wise to ask insurers who specialise in classic bike insurance, many of which may not be available on price comparison sites. Having a bespoke or classic machine will also mean you will need a bespoke policy to suit your riding needs and to cover for the cost of repairing or replacing older models. As most classic bikes are no longer in production finding spares and replacements can be costly. As such you will need to have an agreed value insurance policy, these types of policy are not typically available online.

Riders who have either a classic or newer models will also benefit from using specialised insurers which although may sound a costly approach, is in fact a positive way to save money and be correctly insured, as these companies are aware of the different models and the best types of cover you may need. One advantage of owning a newer model bike is that you will be able to use price comparison sites which you may be able to ‘tweak’ to meet your riding needs and your budget.

In most cases the ‘tweaking’ usually enables riders to increase the amount of voluntary excess the pay, as this will help to lower the cost of the premiums. However, riders need to be aware that although this is a viable way to low premiums it can be costly should you have the need to make a claim.

Other ways to lower the insurance is to have only the owner insured, the more riders you add to the policy the more costly it will become. Having the bike insured rather than the rider can also work to be more costly. Therefore when looking for BMW motorbike insurance only take the options which meet your needs without compromising on the amount of cover you and your bike need, it is pointless paying for optional extras if they are something which are of no benefit to you!
