    Probably not relevant 'cos I'm in a different country but the answer is no.
    I looked into it last year and almost all travel ins companies exclude all kinds of motorcycling from cover, a few will cover small bikes and Trailfinders (available in UK) will cover hire bikes (not your own) once you've paid a bit extra. Carole Nash (also in UK) offer the best cover but I thought it was pricy for the amount of cover.

    I recently took out travel insurance with Adrian Flux for my trip. It was £80 for 3 months.

    Phone good old Carole Nash.

    I`ve just renewed mine.

    12 months personal travel insurance which includes bikes over 125cc (unlike most) and helmets/leathers,etc.

    £68 for a year`s cover in all of Europe.

    That's a good deal.

    I should have explained that most policies only cover you for single trips of 21/30 days, hence why it took me a lot of shopping around to find a policy at a reasonable price that would cover me for one single trip of 3 months.

    Re: Travel Insurance

    Nine companies that cover motorcycling (over 125 cc) are listed in the wiki:

    There is a fine line between numerator and denominator.
