Harley Davidson Insurance

A guide to Harley Davidson bikes

One of the biggest American motorcycle manufacturers with a global recognition which all started in the early 1900’s. It all began with William Harley creating a small engine that was fitted to a regular pedal-bike. After that, a partnership grew with childhood friend Arthur Harley and the birth of the very first Harley- Davidson motorcycle was born. Harley-Davidson has continued to be at the forefront of motorcycle development – even launching its very first electric motorcycle: Project LiveWire!

Surviving two World Wars and the Great Depression, Harley-Davidson motorcycles grew stronger and stylish with every passing year. Harley bikes were even supplied during the War for a means of transport. There’s so much choice when it comes to Harley, and many bikers love to customize their bike too.

How to save money on Harley Davidson insurance

Although Harley-Davidsons are a high-end motorbike and tend to carry a higher insurance premium, there are plenty of ways for you to reduce your costs – putting more money in your pocket for fuel and trips out on your bike!

Using additional security measures can be one of the easiest ways to reduce your premium. Things like chains and locks to keep your Harley secure along with an alarm or immobiliser can all help to lower costs, as can keeping it locked away in your garage when not in use. A tracking device could also help.

Going on an advanced motorcycling course could also help to reduce costs, as it shows the insurer that you’re a safe rider. The lower your mileage, the better, and you should also try to avoid adding performance enhancing modifications where possible – your Harley is already a high performance bike, so if you add any modifications it’ll only drive your premium up!
