With summertime here, for many, the freedom, speed and excitement of the open road on a motorcycle becomes hard to resist. However, HPI is issuing a stark warning to those who prefer two wheels to four - motorbikes are just as vulnerable to criminal scams as other vehicles. The latest research from HPI reveals that 1 in 5 motorcycles checked has a hidden history.
CIA Insurance is offering its customers a unique service – a direct link to HPI for a history check when buying any second-hand motorcycle. CIA Insurance has joined up with HPI, whose database allows you to research the background of the machine you are planning on buying to check if it has outstanding finance, is registered as stolen, or has been written-off. The check also provides you with the vehicle description (as registered with the DVLA) and advice on how to buy a bike safely.
