Motorbike Insurance for a couple of months

My brother has a motorbike which has been garaged at my parents house in England since he moved to Vietnam last August. As he's coming back for 8 weeks over the summer he's wanting to ride it and therefore looking at getting it insured again.

Does anyone know if any companies do short term insurance for motorbikes or is he better off getting an annual policy then declaring the bike SORN and cancelling the insurance and getting a refund?

    You will need to shop around and compare prices. It will vary on riders age & bike value. When getting quotes
    say he may be offered a job abroad in 2 months what would the cancellation charges be.

    May work out cheaper than insuring short term.

    The way insurance works common sense does not apply.
