Sometimes in the event of a total loss, the price offered for your vehicle (motorbike) may vary amongst insurers. If your motorcycle has been well maintained, or it is perhaps a vintage or classic, you can request for an agreed value policy. This means that if you are in an accident and your motorcycle is written off, then any offer made will be based on the agreed value, rather than the current market price value.
