Bike insurance policyholders have been given further incentive to take advantage of the Streets Ahead finance campaign from Honda.

The motorcycle manufacturer has announced that bike insurance policyholders who opt for one of its XL700VATransalp or XL1000V Varadero scooters will now be eligible to receive a free top box and heated grip set.

Both the machines are available in standard or antilock braking system versions and qualify for the free set, which is worth more than £500.

According to Honda, the XL1000V Varadero has been a popular model for over ten years, providing versatility and comfort at between £7,871 and £8,471.

Meanwhile, the XL700VA Transalp is described as an adventure biker's favourite, first launched in 1987 and retailing at £6,681.

Under its Streets Ahead campaign, Honda will accept a ten per cent deposit on a model and allow consumers to pay between £92 and £156 a month over two years for its PS125i, PS125i Sporty, SH125i and SH300i bikes.

"Motorcycles and scooters offer a convenient, fun and cost-effective way of getting around, so coupled with this great zero per cent finance offer from Honda, now's the time to get on to two-wheels, take advantage of both of these offers before they end on March 31st 2010," Honda commented.

The firm is currently urging riders to attend its dealerships over Valentine's weekend for the launch of its new 2010 range.
