Motorcycle Insurance Advice

Motorcycle VIN Check admin / December 10, 2013

The best general advice when looking to purchase your Motorcycle Insurance is to shop around. There are a vast array of insurers out there with many and varied prices.

photo by The Truth About

It may take sometime but it will be well worth the effort to fill in your details on as many insurers websites as possible to get an online quote. Many providers will be able to give you an instant online quote.

Check the price versus the cover offered, the cheapest policy might not always be the best for you.

Check the excess on the policy, this is the portion of each claim you will have to pay. Usually lower insurance premiums mean higher excess fees, but this might be worthwhile for you.
Keeping your Motorcycle Garaged overnight will help to keep your premiums lower too, make sure you include this information when filling out the forms.

If you only ride for part of the year some insurers will offer discounted rate for limited mileage, just make sure to keep within their limits. Younger riders will be penalised for your lack of experience so a motorcycle with low theft appeal will help. An advanced rider course may help you qualify for discounts with certain insurers.

Finally, look for a no claims bonus or safe rider bonus, each year without a claim will help to reduce your premiums for the next year.

Prime Time to Buy a Second Hand Motorcycle

Motorcycle VIN Check admin / October 9, 2012

Fall is Here Let’s Go Motorcycle Shopping!

It’s a long standing question for many people looking to buy their first motorcycle. When’s the best time to buy a second hand motorcycle. Now is the time! Fall is here and many people will be garaging their rides away for the winter, those that have decided to sell their ride will also be selling now. Also it’s good to remember that come spring lots of people will be out there looking to buy and the sellers will be fewer, prices will rise.

Getting your second hand motorcycle now means you have opportunity to check it over during the winter and get it ready for the open road come spring.

There are a few pointers to help you make that decision on when to buy:

If you are looking for a particular make of motorcycle then research when new models are due on the market. Ducati, for example, are about to release a 20th Anniversary Edition of the Monster. There will be Ducati enthusiasts looking to trade up and may result in an oversupply of 2nd hand older models.
Be cautious over riders who may have thrashed their bike knowing they are going to sell.
Christmas is coming and people will be looking to sell for cash. Have your finances ready to go. When negotiating on price it’s hard to say no to a fistful of bills!
If you are going to take cash and negotiate make sure to get the VIN first and run a Vin Check. Know what you are buying.
Don’t be worried about walking away.

Where do I find the VIN?

Motorcycle VIN Check admin / February 29, 2012

Where to locate a VIN on a motorcycle.

When trying to find the location of a VIN there are several places to look on a bike. The various motorcycle manufacturers Honda, Yamaha, Harley Davidson, BMW, KTM etc. all have a challenge in placing the VIN plate. It needs to be visible but not detract from the look and style of the motorcycle. Each manufacturer puts the VIN plate in different places, and they are not always consistent between models. On this Honda Motorcyle to the right you can clearly see the VIN plate on the frame just below the fuel tank. Unless the bike is vintage then there will be a VIN plate or number on there for you to take the number from and run a VIN Check. The most common location for a Motorcycle VIN location is on the right hand side of the head stem. Turn the handlebars all the way to the left to allow the VIN to be seen more clearly. This seems to have become the common place standard between many motorcycle manufacturers. The VIN is usually stamped into the frame which makes it harder to swap than a riveted plate. A stamped VIN can be a bit harder to locate and read. The VIN will be seventeen characters long and a mixture of letters and numbers, you need the full 17 character VIN in order to run a report. It used to be the the VIN was more often used to ensure you are ordering the correct spare parts for your motorcycle, however more and more checks are being run on a daily basis as buyers seek out to the find the history of the motorcycle they want to purchase.

Reasons for running a Motorcycle VIN Check

Do not forget to check the condition of the VIN plate itself, it could give you a clue that something is not quite what it seems. The plate should look like it belongs on the bike, not like a recent addition. It should appear to be the same age as the rest of the Motorcycle, if it seems older or newer than the bike then you have a very good reason to run a check on this bike. It may be possible that the owner is trying to clone another identity onto the bike as the Motorcycle VIN Check would show the true history. The VIN can sometimes be stamped somewhere else on the Motorcycle so you can cross check the numbers. If the VIN plate has been defaced in any way, for example by grinding, or has a sticker over it, or someone has painted over it or if it is loose then you should not trust the information on the plate and should see if you can find the VIN number stamped somewhere else on the bike. There is no point in running a report on a VIN that you already have doubts over as you’ll never know how accurate the information in the report is.

If you run the VIN number through a free Motorcycle VIN Check decoder it will extract the information contained in the VIN itself, this should correlate with what the seller is telling you. Much of this information can be manually decoded as the first characters are fixed by the manufacturer and model of the motorcycle. Finally if something doesn’t seem right with the seller then you should also really consider running a report, is their knowledge of the bike a bit weak, can they tell you the history of the motorcycle, why are they selling it, where are they selling it and perhaps why are they trying to sell it so quickly. All these questions can point you to a bike that might have a history you don’t want and that a Motorcycle VIN check report can uncover for you.

The reasons to get a VIN check

Motorcycle VIN Check admin / February 14, 2012

What are the risks in buying a used motorcycle?

You need to know why obtaining a VIN Check Report is so important? So what is the likelihood of there something being wrong with the second hand bike you are looking at? There are on average in excess of 60,000 motorcycles stolen in the USA each year. That approximates to one motorcycle every 9 minutes. The chances are very real. With the rate of recovery at only 25% – 30% (compared to 60% for cars) there are around 45,000 unrecovered bikes each year. What happens to these stolen motorcycles? Some will be broken down for parts, others will be shipped overseas to be sold on the black market. Many will make it onto the second hand market being sold by seemingly legitimate sellers who appear to have genuine reasons for selling. They will be bought by unsuspecting riders who probably don’t realise the situation they have suddenly found themselves in. Without a doubt getting a VIN Check is important.

Does getting a Motorcycle VIN Check really matter?

Yes it does. If you unknowingly purchase a stolen motorcycle, no matter how far down the chain you may be, then you never actually own that motorcycle. You have bought stolen property. It is still the property of it’s original owner. You could have to hand the bike back with your only line of compensation being from the person who sold it to you. Realistically a VIN check is the only way to be sure the second hand bike you are looking at has a clean history.

What else could be wrong?

Let’s face it the Global Financial Crisis has put a lot of pressure on people. Spending $9 or $10 on a piece of paper or a pdf report might seem like a waste of your hard earned cash. But consider how may people are defaulting on their loan payments? How many motorcycles are being repossessed? How many people are selling their motorcycles without having cleared their finance. If you buy that bike it’s not yours, it is still actually owned by the finance company and could be repossessed from you, a motorcycle vin check report will help to protect you from these risks.
