Motorcycle Storage Solutions UK: Real Bikes, Safe Storage & Transport
Finding the right motorcycle storage solutions depends on the bike, how long you need to store it and whether you need collection or delivery. From classic motorcycles and restoration projects to modern road bikes and off-road machines, every bike deserves somewhere safe, secure and dry.
Our secure indoor motorcycle storage facility is used for a wide range of bikes, including motorcycles being stored between journeys, bikes bought from dealers or private sellers, seasonal motorcycles and machines that need to be kept safely alongside their associated parts and components.
If you can’t bring the motorcycle to us yourself, we can also arrange professional motorcycle transport. Bikes can be collected, safely loaded into our specially equipped transport van and brought into storage until you’re ready for them to be delivered.
Below you’ll see some of the real motorcycles we’ve stored and transported, along with practical advice for storing your own bike and when professional motorcycle storage can make sense.
TL;DR – The Quick Answer
Good motorcycle storage solutions should keep your bike secure, dry and protected for as long as you need. Professional indoor storage is useful for classic bikes, modern motorcycles, off-road bikes and restoration projects, including bikes stored with associated parts. Collection and delivery can also be arranged if you can’t bring the motorcycle to the storage facility yourself.

1. Motorcycle Storage Solutions for Different Bikes
There’s no single type of motorcycle that needs storage. We look after everything from classic and vintage motorcycles to modern road bikes and off-road machines. Some are stored for a few weeks between collection and delivery, while others need a secure indoor home for much longer.
Whatever the reason, good motorcycle storage solutions should keep the bike dry, secure and protected without unnecessary movement or exposure to the weather.
Classic & Vintage Motorcycles
Older and collectible motorcycles benefit from dry indoor storage, particularly when they’re being preserved, restored or used only occasionally. Keeping them away from the elements helps protect paintwork, metalwork and components.
Off-Road & Enduro Bikes
Off-road motorcycles can also need secure storage between events, during the winter or when there’s simply not enough suitable space at home. Indoor storage keeps the bike secure and ready for its next outing.
Modern Road Bikes
Modern motorcycles may need temporary or longer-term storage when you’re moving home, working away, buying a bike from further afield or simply don’t have secure garage space available.
2. Motorcycle Storage With Parts & Components
Motorcycle storage isn’t always as simple as putting a complete bike away until it’s needed again. Classic motorcycles, restoration projects and recently purchased bikes can arrive with spare parts, removed components and boxes of items that belong with the motorcycle.
Where space allows, keeping associated parts with the motorcycle can make life much easier. Everything stays together while the bike is in storage, ready for restoration work, collection or onward delivery when the owner is ready.
A real example from our storage unit
This classic Suzuki came into storage with a number of boxes containing associated parts and components. Keeping the bike and its parts together provides a practical storage solution for project and restoration motorcycles where more than just the bike needs a secure home.
Have a bike with parts to store?
Let us know what needs storing when you enquire. We can then confirm the space required for the motorcycle and any associated parts or components before collection or arrival.
“Fantastic service from Scott and his Team at Motorcycle Delivery UK. I first used Scott’s brilliant service in 2009 and always return when the need arises. Helpful, courteous and friendly drivers also support a great experience.”
3. Storing Your Motorcycle at Home: Do’s & Don’ts
Not every motorcycle needs professional storage. If you have a dry, secure garage at home, you may already have a perfectly suitable place to keep your bike. The important part is preparing the motorcycle properly, particularly if it will be standing unused for several weeks or months.
Moisture, battery problems, tyre pressure and poor preparation can all cause avoidable issues during longer periods of storage. A few simple precautions before putting the bike away can make getting it back on the road much easier.
DO
Simple ways to protect your motorcycle
- Store the motorcycle somewhere dry and secure.
- Clean and thoroughly dry the bike before storage.
- Check the tyres and pressures before leaving it standing.
- Consider battery maintenance during longer storage periods.
- Use a suitable breathable cover where appropriate.
- Keep keys and important documents somewhere secure.
DON’T
Common storage mistakes to avoid
- Cover a wet or damp motorcycle and leave it for months.
- Rely on an exposed outdoor location for long-term storage.
- Forget about the battery during an extended storage period.
- Leave valuable documents unnecessarily with the motorcycle.
- Assume a bike needs no attention simply because it isn’t being ridden.
Preparing your bike for longer-term storage?
We’ve covered the preparation process in more detail in our How to Store a Motorcycle checklist , including practical steps to take before leaving your bike unused.
4. When Professional Motorcycle Storage Makes Sense
Keeping a motorcycle at home isn’t always practical. You may not have a secure garage, you could be moving house or working away, or you may have bought a motorcycle before you’re ready to take delivery. In these situations, professional motorcycle storage provides a secure place for the bike until you’re ready for it.
It’s also useful for motorcycles that aren’t used all year round, valuable or classic bikes that you don’t want left outside, and project motorcycles that need somewhere safe while restoration work is planned.
When Storage Can Help
- You’re moving home and need somewhere secure for your bike.
- You’re working away or travelling for an extended period.
- You don’t have a suitable garage or secure space at home.
- You only use the motorcycle during certain times of the year.
Bought a Motorcycle?
- You’ve bought a bike before you’re ready to receive it.
- The motorcycle needs storing between collection and delivery.
- You’ve bought a classic or project motorcycle for future work.
- You need somewhere for the bike while other arrangements are made.
Storage for weeks, months or longer
Whether you need temporary storage between collection and delivery or somewhere secure for a longer period, we can discuss how long you need the motorcycle stored and the most suitable option for your bike.
You can find more information about the facility, current pricing and what’s included on our Motorcycle Storage UK service page.
5. Motorcycle Collection, Storage & Delivery
You don’t necessarily need to bring the motorcycle to our storage facility yourself. We can collect bikes from private sellers, dealerships, auctions and other locations across the UK and transport them directly into secure storage.
This can be particularly useful when you’ve bought a motorcycle some distance from home, aren’t ready to receive it yet or need somewhere secure between collection and final delivery.
Collection, Storage and Delivery in One Service
-
1. We collect your motorcycle
Collection can be arranged from a dealer, private seller, auction or another agreed location. -
2. Your motorcycle is transported securely
The bike is carefully loaded into our specially equipped motorcycle transport van and secured for the journey. -
3. The motorcycle goes into secure storage
Your bike can remain in our indoor storage facility until you’re ready to receive it. -
4. We deliver it when you’re ready
When the time comes, we can arrange onward transport to your home, workshop or another agreed destination.
“I would highly recommend and trust this company to pick up and deliver your motorcycle, their service was very quick from start to finish with excellent communication along the way, and the price was very hard to beat, my pick up and collection wasn’t straight forward but Scott and Andy made it happen, huge thanks guys”
Bought a motorcycle but can’t take delivery yet?
Rather than asking the seller to hold the motorcycle or arranging separate transport and storage, we can collect the bike, bring it into storage and arrange delivery when you’re ready for it.
If you need your motorcycle collected or delivered, find out more about our Motorcycle Transport UK service and how we safely move motorcycles across the country.
6. Secure Motorcycle Storage When You Need It
Every motorcycle storage requirement is slightly different. You might need somewhere for a bike you’ve just bought, temporary storage while moving home, longer-term storage while you’re away, or simply a secure indoor space because you don’t have suitable storage at home.
Motorcycle Delivery UK combines secure indoor storage with professional motorcycle collection and delivery, so the bike can be collected, stored and delivered when you’re ready for it.
