Motorcycle insurance customers 'need to be honest'

Motorbike insurance policyholders who are not honest may end up falsifying a claim, one industry expert has suggested.

Malcolm Tarling, media relations officer at the Association of British Insurers, stated this also goes for owners of all vehicles.

He added: "If you're dishonest with your insurer that could be counterproductive - particularly at this time, when premium rates across the board are rising and people can be tempted to be a bit economical with the truth."

What's more, Mr Tarling recommended people to be honest and upfront with an insurer as they will treat individuals in the same way.

Those who have a motorcycle insurance policies might also like to note Honda is going to be represented at the Adelaide Motorcycle Festival from today (February 11th).

Three local dealers are set to put on a display of a number of bikes from this year's Honda range at the spectacle.
