Motorcycle Insurance
Protection for the Rider and the Motorcycle
What Can Motorcycle Insurance Help Cover?
Motorcycle insurance is designed specifically for motorcycles and their riders. Depending on the coverage selected, a policy may help with liability claims, physical damage to the motorcycle, theft, uninsured drivers, medical-related expenses, roadside situations, and other covered motorcycle losses.
Liability Coverage
May help when you are legally responsible for covered bodily injury or property damage caused to another person while operating the motorcycle.
Collision Coverage
May help repair or compensate for covered damage to your insured motorcycle after a collision, subject to the deductible, policy limits, and applicable terms.
Comprehensive Coverage
May help with qualifying non-collision losses such as theft, vandalism, fire, hail, falling objects, and certain weather-related damage.
Uninsured & Underinsured Motorist
Depending on state law and the policy selected, this coverage may provide protection after a qualifying accident involving a driver with no insurance or insufficient liability limits.
Cruisers
Traditional street motorcycles used for comfortable recreational and everyday riding.
Touring Motorcycles
Motorcycles designed for longer trips, often with storage, passenger seating, and touring equipment.
Sport Bikes
Performance-oriented motorcycles whose eligibility and pricing may depend heavily on model, engine size, rider experience, and driving history.
Standard & Adventure Bikes
Versatile motorcycles used for commuting, recreation, touring, and varying road conditions.
Scooters
Qualifying scooters may have motorcycle insurance options depending on engine size, registration, state requirements, and carrier eligibility.
Custom Motorcycles
Modified or custom-built motorcycles may require additional information about aftermarket parts, equipment, value, and construction.

What Should You Review Before Buying Motorcycle Insurance?
Motorcycle insurance pricing, eligibility, and coverage can depend on the motorcycle, rider, location, use, financing, custom equipment, coverage limits, deductibles, and insurance company guidelines.
Motorcycle Type & Engine
Cruisers, sport bikes, touring motorcycles, scooters, and other motorcycle types may be rated differently based on design, engine size, performance, and value.
How You Ride
Tell the agency whether the motorcycle is used for weekend recreation, commuting, touring, seasonal riding, passengers, or another permitted use.
Rider Experience
Age, licensing, motorcycle experience, training, driving history, prior claims, and other underwriting factors may affect eligibility and pricing.
Storage & Security
Where the motorcycle is principally garaged and whether security equipment is used may be part of the insurance review.
Financing
A lender may require collision and comprehensive coverage while it has a financial interest in the motorcycle.
Custom Parts & Equipment
Custom paint, exhaust systems, wheels, seats, saddlebags, electronics, fairings, and performance upgrades should be disclosed when appropriate.
Understand the Difference
Liability Only or Broader Motorcycle Protection?
Liability Coverage
Primarily Protects Against Responsibility to Others
Liability coverage generally addresses covered bodily injury and property damage you cause to others. It normally does not repair your motorcycle after your own at-fault collision.
Broader Protection
Add Protection for the Motorcycle
Collision, comprehensive, uninsured motorist, roadside assistance, medical-related coverage, and custom-parts protection may be available depending on the state and policy.
