If your motorcycle was built before 1st January 1980, you can apply to stop paying vehicle tax. If you don’t know how old your motorcycle is, don’t worry! As long as it was registered before 8th January 1980, you can still apply for this payment exemption. Remember, you must tax your vehicle even if you don’t have to pay for it.

Not only is motorcycle insurance important for protecting you and your motorbike, it’s also a legal requirement – so always make sure your motorcycle is insured! The cost of motorcycle insurance will depend on a couple of factors: Engine size – As a general rule, the larger the engine on your motorcycle, the more your insurance. This is because larger engines have more power and a higher chance of being involved in a high-speed accident. They also tend to be more expensive, which means repairing or replacing them will cost more. Age – Another important factor is age. The older you are, the cheaper your insurance will usually be, although this can also be influenced by your riding experience.
