Would this be safe to use with a motorcycle?

I don't understand these things, so could someone advise please

Should be fine

It must be said, though, that jump starting a motorcycle is never a good idea as they have relatively low powered alternators. They can be under a lot of strain to charge a dead flat battery.

Fine for a get out of jail free card, but not a good idea to regularly jump start a bike

2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 USW Orkney Grey

Actually chaps - careful with the CTEK. I have 2 bikes with Lithium batteries (lots of newer lightweight bikes have them as standard)...my CTEK just blinks and does not charge them...
You may need a specific lithium battery charger.
I have been looking to buy one good quality charger that's switchable between AGM, Lead Acid, Lithium etc, but neither CTEK nor some of the other big reputable brands seem to offer them at a decent price... Would like one single charger for my bikes, Landy, and car... Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's)
