Just to add to what Dave wrote above, regarding speed traps:
I left Morocco yesterday, after having spent 10 days there riding from north to south and back again. I saw lots and lots of police check-points, but at every single one, I was waved through. I think that the Moroccan police have no interest in stopping tourists at these checkpoints, or perhaps they might have even been directed from upon high to leave the tourists alone.
But...
As I drove the final 200 miles north to Tanger Med port, I was just astonished at the number of manned 'radar traps' on the highways, especially on the high speed toll roads. Jeepers, there must have been a radar speed checkpoint every 15 to 20 km. Normal practice was for the person with the radar device to hide in the bushes, then radio ahead to colleagues who would have a presence a few kilometers up the road - typically at the next exit.
Personally, I'm kind of grateful for all this police presence, because I found Morocco to be a remarkably safe country to ride in, so far as traffic is concerned. But, if you have to travel up to Tanger Med to buy your insurance, do not under any circumstances exceed the speed limit!
Lastly - be aware that when you buy the moto insurance, you have to declare whether it is for 1, 2, or 3 (3 being a sidecar) seating positions on the moto. You used the word 'we' in your original post - this suggests to me that you will have to specifically ask for coverage for 2 people on the moto.
