A new type of travel insurance has been launched which is set to cover motorcyclists who ride abroad, even if they are renting or riding their own bike.

Adrian Flux Insurance Services have launched the new insurance to the approval of bikers across the country. The extensive nature of the policy will mean that all motorcycles and scooters above 125cc will also be covered providing the policy holder holds a valid UK License.

Motorcyclists will now find that they have the same cover as regular holidaymakers including such perks as medical and other expenses, personal accident, and legal expenses up to £25,000.

"Our guys were all moaning about holiday insurance," says Robert Balls of Bikesure. "They were complaining that motorcyclists weren't covered when they hired bikes abroad and pointed out that the risks for experienced bikers just weren't the same as for holiday-makers larking about paragliding, etc. So we asked our parent company Adrian Flux to look into taking motorcycling out of the dangerous sports category."
