Reducing Motorbike Insurance Premiums By Added Security

Author: Christopher Reinhold Subscribe to users feed SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend

Of the many ways to reduce the premiums associated with motorbike insurance policies, one of the easiest ways is to simply add additional security features to the motorbike. Of course, all standard motorbikes that are made for roads require a key to turn in the ignition to start the engine, however there are several extra measures that can be taken to reduce the cost of motorbike insurance premiums.

The most common additional motorbike security device that is available on the market today is the security chain. Available in a range of different sizes, security chains are made from a variety of different steels and are designed to be attached to a wheel and the motorbike itself, making it impossible to ride if stolen. Security chains have been at the forefront of motorbike security for many years and therefore todays security chains have gone through years of evolution and are amongst some of the strongest and unbreakable security chains ever produced.

Only a relatively new product to the motorbike security market, the AntiPinch Pin is a product that has been designed to meet the requirements of many modern day motorbikes. In previous years, motorbikes have had relatively large spokes in the wheels and large gaps within the motorbike frame, allowing for a thick chain to be passed through and attached to a ground anchor. However, many modern motorbikes are being produced that are much more compact and it can often be difficult to find a strong enough security chain that can fit through the motorbikes design. As this is becoming more prominent, the AntiPinch Pin has been created and is used by placing it through a small gap in the motorbikes frame or centre of a wheel and then attaching a security chain to it. A very simple idea but extremely effective, the AntiPinch Pin is available at a respectable price and can help with the reduction of motorbike insurance premiums considerably.

Although the most expensive options, alarms and tracking devices are the best ways to reduce motorbike insurance premiums. Firstly, alarms are available with a variety of different price tags and in some cases can be fitted by motorbike owners themselves. Motorbike alarms are fitted to the motorbike body and can be activated for a variety of reasons. For example, whether the motorbike is knocked over, moved from a specific spot or someone attempts to start the engine without they key, the alarm will be sounded and deter the would be thief. Furthermore, tracking devices are often sold with alarms and whilst costly, are the most effective way of reducing motorbike insurance premiums. They work by having a transmitter installed in a hidden location on the motorbike and then the motorbike owner pays for a subscription to a piece of software that can monitor the motorbikes activity and located at all times. As this is possible, if a motorbike is stolen, the details of the motorbikes whereabouts can be passed to the Police and the motorbike will hopefully be returned immediately.
