What are the different types of motorbike insurance cover?
When you’re insuring your Buell motorbike, it’s important to choose a level of bike cover that suits your needs. There are three types to choose between:
- Third party: Only covers damage to a third party’s vehicle or property

- Comprehensive: The highest level of insurance you can get covers all of the above whilst also insuring you for any accidental damage to your own bike.
What won’t my Buell motorcycle insurance cover?
If your motorcycle insurance is invalidated, it’ll stop covering you. For example, any injury, loss, damage, or accident would not be covered if:
- An unlicensed rider is riding your Buell bike
- Your bike is being ridden by someone who isn’t insured
- Your bike is carrying passengers or goods in an unsafe way
Make sure to familiarise yourself with these exclusions. We have only listed a few examples, which is why you should check your policy wording for more details.
