It has been suggested that swapping from a car to a motorbike will make sense financially, something that is on the minds of many people at the moment.
The PR man from AA Insurance commented that many people are switching to smaller vehicles already, driven by both financial and environmental motives. Taking the step to a motorcycle helps in both these areas even more than a smaller car. He noted that they are easy to park, economical to run and also cheaper to insure.
There are currently just over 1.2 million motorbikes registered in the UK, though perhaps that figure is going to rise based on what the man from AA Insurance has to say.

Designed especially for the over 50 market Tesco Finance has launched a new life insurance policy that will leave a guaranteed tax free lump sum upon claiming.
There is no medical needed as long as applicants are aged between 50 and 75 and all customers who purchase the policy before 26 June also receive a GBP20 gift voucher. Applying for the Tesco Finance life insurance policy is really easy, using the phone or online.
Payments into the Tesco Finance insurance policy stop when the person covered reaches 90 years of age but the policy remains valid until death. Typically a 55 year old man who pays GBP10 per month would receive a lump sum of over GBP2,400, while a woman of the same age and paying the same amount would receive over GBP3,000.
A new range of insurance has been introduced by Direct Line catering for the needs of small hotel owners having 12 rooms or less.
The Direct Line insurance cover offers both public and product liability up to GBP2 million as well as loss of income protection up to GBP500,000. Policies can also be tailored to incorporate add ons specific to individual needs, typical examples being loss of licence or personal accident.
A spokesperson from Direct Line commented that this new insurance cover would be perfect for smaller operations, enabling them to enjoy all the benefits offered by an insurance company the size of Direct Line with the tailored fit provided by the policy itself.
