There are plenty of choices when you go shopping for a motorbike and whether you buy a new or used model, the first thing you are going to have to decide is the type of bike you prefer. If you already know what type of bike you want, that’s fine, go ahead and enjoy your new purchase. On the other hand, if you are looking at your options at the moment, it could be worth exploring all of the different styles available for your own peace of mind. To make things easier, here’s a quick guide to different bike types to help you choose. Scooters Cheap to run and insure due to their small engine size, scooters are perfect if you want a nippy little bike to commute through busy city streets. You won’t exactly get the same level of performance as you would from bigger bikes, but scooters are easy to ride and won’t exactly break the bank when it comes to operating costs. You could buy a retro Lambretta or enjoy the unrivalled handling of a modern Vespa and let it become part of your lifestyle. Naked Bikes Fans of the stripped-back look will instantly be drawn to naked bikes, or machines without fairings to give them a proper introduction. Bikes in this range include the Kawasaki Z1000 and the Suzuki GSX-S1000, stunning machines blessed with aggressive looks and sinister styling. If you are a fan of the retro styling, a naked bike could be just what you are looking for and in recent times unfaired models have enjoyed somewhat of a boom in the motorcycling sector. Sports Bikes If all out speed and brutal acceleration are top of your list, take a look at the latest sports bike designs available right now. Blessed with advanced bike technology, you can take these machines to track days and really unleash the power, whilst getting the most from their savage acceleration and optimum handling. Models like the Suzuki GSX-R 750 and the Ducati SuperSport are popular bikes in this category. Adventure Sport Bikes Want to take your bike on an off-road adventure and mirror the antics of Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman? Buy yourself an adventure bike and enjoy the ultimate off the road experience as you tackle a range of challenging surfaces. Big, durable and powerful, bikes such as Honda’s CRF1000L Africa Twin are firm favourites in the off-road market. Touring Bikes As the name suggests, bikes in this category are designed specifically for touring and built with comfort in mind. Capable of covering long distances, luxury tourers such as Honda’s Gold Wing offer the highest levels of refinement and power. With larger engines and delivering smooth power outputs, riders suffer less fatigue and can cover greater distances on this type of bike. If you plan on covering a large mileage and want to tour in style, this is the option for you. Custom Bikes In this category, you will also cruisers, especially models from the legendary Harley-Davidson brand. Many of these have lower seats, longer wheelbases and plenty of chrome features, meaning you can cruise in style. Within the custom bike range, you might also find café racer style bikes designed with fans of retro in mind, including BMW’s R80 and Triumph’s Bonneville Bobber, with its very distinctive post-war styling. Whatever style of bike you prefer, whether you are new to biking or a seasoned rider, there is sure to be the perfect bike out there waiting for you. Should you purchase a bike and need it collecting in Bristol or anywhere in the UK, don’t hesitate to contact us here at ACE Services.

Have a new or used motorbike delivered to your home by us here at Ace Services Bristol and it’s a good idea to shop around for insurance to save yourself a stash of cash. There are deals out there if you are prepared to do a little research and it’ll save time and hassle if you have specific details about the following handy, whether you call insurance brokers for a quotes or use online comparison sites. Background information Insurers will need to know the date you passed your bike test so make sure you have this detail handy. They’ll also want to know if you have any proof of no claims discounts which can lower the cost of bike insurance, plus they’ll also inquire if your licence is clean, you have any convictions, or you have any points pending that haven’t been put on the licence yet. Type of cover Do you want to pay for third party, fire and theft or can you pay a little extra for fully comprehensive insurance? The cost of bike insurance can vary greatly depending on the level of cover that you want. Decide this and the insurers will also want to know: · When do you want the cover to start? · Are you prepared to pay an excess? · Do you want to protect your no claims discount? · Will you need legal cover? · Would you like your helmet, boots and rider clothing insured? · Will you be taking the bike abroad? · Is this your main mode of transport? Details about you Be prepared to provide details of your age, home address and occupation when asked. The insurance company will ask you the amount of mileage you are likely to cover over the next year and they will also ask you if you use the bike just for pleasure purposes or whether you use it to commute to work. As well as this, you will be asked where the motorcycle is stored at night and whether you garage it or not. A bit about your bike It’s not just you the insurers will want to know about. They will also ask you specific questions about your motorbike such as the make, model and registration, plus the estimated value of the machine. You will have to declare if you have made any modifications to the bike such as engine tweaks, a sports exhaust or a custom paint job that could make the bike more appealing to thieves. Plus you will also be asked if there is any security fitted to the motorbike. Fit an insurance approved security system and this can lower the cost of your policy. It’s important to have bike insurance in place before you take delivery of a new or used motorbike. Don’t worry about the safety of your bike if you arrange for us to collect it and deliver it for you here at Ace Services Bristol. As the leading bike transportation service in Bristol, we always treat our customers’ motorbikes with the greatest care and look after them during their travels.
