Best Motorcycle Covers

A good motorcycle cover is the cheapest protection you can buy for your bike. Left uncovered, paint fades in the sun, chrome pits in the rain, and road salt, tree sap and bird mess work into the finish over a single winter. A cover that actually fits keeps all of that off — and keeps a parked bike a little less conspicuous while it's there.

The problem with most covers is fit. A universal sheet is made to drape over anything, which means it fits nothing well: it billows in the wind, lets rain track underneath, and rubs at the mirrors and screen. Every cover we make is cut to a specific make and model, so it sits close to the bike and does its job. Choose your manufacturer below to see the covers made for it.

Waterproof and breathable — you need both

The two properties sound contradictory, but you want them together. A waterproof outer keeps rain, UV and grime out. A breathable inner layer lets the moisture and warmth that build up under any cover escape, instead of condensing against cold metal. Get only the first — a plain plastic tarp — and you seal damp air against the bike, which is what causes corrosion, tarnished chrome and that musty smell under a cheap cover. The best outdoor covers are waterproof on the outside and breathable underneath.

Custom-fit vs universal covers

A tailored cover is shaped to the bike's actual silhouette — screen, tank, seat and luggage — so there's no loose fabric to catch the wind and no gaps for rain to get under. It holds its position in a gale where a universal cover would be halfway down the street. It also lasts longer: fabric that isn't straining over mirrors or flogging in the wind simply doesn't wear out as fast. Universal covers are cheaper up front, but a cover that fits pays for itself in the paintwork it protects and the seasons it survives.

What to look for in the best motorcycle cover

When you're comparing covers, look for a genuine model-specific cut rather than a size band; a waterproof, UV-stabilised outer; a soft, non-abrasive lining that won't scratch paint or screens; an elasticated hem and underbody straps so it stays put; and vents to let warm air out. For a bike kept on the street, a plain dark cover draws less attention than a branded one. Indoors, breathability still matters — a bike sealed in an unheated garage sweats as the temperature swings, so you want that moisture to escape rather than sit on the metal all winter.

Made to order, cut to your model

Because our covers are made to order rather than pulled off a shelf, each one is cut to the dimensions of the specific bike you choose — allowing for the screen height, seat shape and any fitted luggage. That's why there's a short lead time rather than instant dispatch: the cover is being made for your bike, not picked from a size bin. Every cover arrives with a free storage bag, and standard UK delivery is £6.99. If your exact model isn't listed, get in touch and we'll make one to fit.
