A company called Bikesure is now offering motorcycle insurance coverage on motorcycles outfitted with a nitrous oxide system (NOS), even with the system connected and working.

The problem has been that no insurer would cover a NOS-powered customised bike on the road, unless you disconnect the system. "Which is a bit useless really," points out Robert Balls of Bikesure. "Our sister company, Flux, already insured cars with NOS for road use, so we decided to create a scheme that would do the same for bikers. As far as we know, we're the only bike insurance specialist that offers NOS cover for road use."

As far as what it costs, it adds the same percentage to your premium as the system adds to your power. So if the NOS increases the bike's BHP by 50%, then the premium will go up by (very roughly) around 50%.

Bikesure is located in the UK; I'm not an agent, so I don't know how that applies to USA-based motorcycles.
