Bike Insurance - More women turning to motorbikes and bike insurance

Bike insurance is becoming more popular with women as a growing number of women are buying a motorbike in order to reduce spending as living costs continue to soar and in light of restrictive lending.

According to the Post Office, one in seven women would consider swapping their car for a motorbike in order to cut costs, and experts from the University of Huddersfield’s Motorcycle Consumer Research Unit claim that the overall figure is almost 20 per cent, and that the percentage is set to increase.

In response to this, and ahead of peak motorbike riding season, the Post Office has launched a new motorbike insurance policy, with discounts of up to 36 per cent for female motorcyclists.

These discounts reflect the fact that women are involved in far fewer motorbike accidents than men, and University of Huddersfield research shows that women are more interested in pursuing advanced rider training than their male counterparts.
