There are many factors which contribute to your new rider motorcycle insurance premium. The fact that you are inexperienced in riding will not be as ideal as being an experienced rider, so you should make sure that the you everything you can do improve the other elements of your profile to try and keep your new rider premium down as much as possible.

This could include making sure your bike is secure, the best thing for this is a garage but also use security devices such as a chain and ground anchor, disc lock etc.

If you are new to riding then it’s best to start on a less powerful cc machine to build your experience, if you opt for a powerful sports bike as a new motorcycle rider the likelihood is your premium will be in the higher ranges.

The same will apply for an expensive bike, even if it’s not that powerful as you have no experience of looking after a motorcycle and therefore an insurer may have to rate you in the higher range until you build your NCD.
