The Triumph Bonneville has its own iconic style which has been raved about for many years. Back in the 1960's this bike was one of the 'must have' bikes of its era, with enthusiasts around the world all enjoying the freedom of the open road this bike provided.

In the 21st century the Bonneville is still one of the most popular bikes around the world with Triumph incorporating the style and performance which brought about the bikes popularity with all the modern technologies the next generation of riders demand.

Whether you own a classic bike dating back to the sixties, and yes there are many still on the road! Or the latest model having the correct insurance is paramount. Motorbikes which were built back in the sixties are classed as classic bikes and whilst that may you feel old if you have had one from new, the great advantage you have over other bikers is all the years riding experience you have accumulated.

If you have been riding since the sixties you will have become accustom to the increase of the amount of traffic on today's roads and of course will have learnt by experience to adapt your driving once the motorways were built enabling you to open the throttle more than before!

Above all you should have accumulated a maximum no claims discount which enables you to benefit from lower insurance premiums which is a real bonus and advantage you have over younger riders!

Riding a classic bike means you will also be entitled to apply for classic bike insurance and have policies which are tailored to meet your riding needs. You may also be one of the many riders who have remained loyal to your insurer throughout your riding career, more especially if they have always provided you with excellent customer service and affordable premiums.

However, in today's world it is people like you that the insurance companies rely upon year after year. You are their main customer base and most will do everything they can to hang onto your custom if you have been a cautious rider over the years. As such you should bring your view of insurance into the 21st century and break the habit of a lifetime by checking out what other insurers have to offer rather than just renewing your policy.

You may find that you are being provided with a competitive quote, however the chances are if you re-apply to the same insurance company you may be offered an even lower premium. Sticking with tried and trusted motorbikes and insurers is honourable, but in today's world may not always be the most cost effective way of insuring your Bonneville.

By investing a little time you may find some very competitive deals even for classic bikes. Always add that you are looking for bona fide Triumph motorcycle insurance and this will help you separate the wheat from the chaff so to speak. It is always worth mentioning to insurers that you are looking for the best value for money as most will offer to match or even beat any like for like quotes you get from their competitors.
