More than 80 percent of all reported motorcycle accidents result in injury or death
Motorcycle Insurance
Choosing motorcycle insurance is critical once you own and ride the perfect motorcycle. You'll discover that you must carry liability coverage for your bike, while coverages that include comprehensive and collision are optional. Any insurance specialist that knows and understands motorcycle insurance will know those laws that apply where you live. Motorcycle insurance coverage is not very different from car insurance in that it requires the same types of coverages you carry on the typical auto insurance policy. In fact, most motorcycle coverage can be added to your auto insurance by simply adding bike insurance to your auto policy.
Basic Requirements for Motorcycle Insurance.
Motorcycle Liability Insurance
Liability insurance includes bodily injury and property damage that caused to other people involved in an accident with you. It does not cover you or your motorcycle! Always check if your motorcycle coverage includes "Guest Passenger Liability", which covers a passenger hurt while carried on your motorcycle.
Motorcycle Collision Insurance
Collision insurance pays for damage to your bike whenever you are in an accident. Your Motorcycle Collision insurance co-coverage pays for damages, minus any deductible specified in your policy, caused when you hit with any vehicle or stationary objects. Motorcycle Collision insurance usually covers the current market value of your bike. Motorcycle Comprehensive coverage covers any damages caused by fire, theft, or vandalism.
Motorcycle comprehensive and collision coverages cover the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts on your bike. Accessories and adornments - decorative chrome pieces, custom paint, sidecars, will all require separate coverage.
Motorcycle Uninsured motorist
Uninsured motorist covers medical treatment, lost wages and some additional damages if an uninsured driver hits your bike. Some uninsured motorist coverage includes property damage (PD), if so, your motorcycle may be covered under those conditions. Check with your insurance agent to see if property damage coverage must be separately purchased.
Motorcycle Underinsured motorist Motorcycle underinsured motorist is like uninsured motorist coverage, except that it only applies when the person who hits you has lower coverages than you and total damages are higher than their policy limits.
Being a graduate of a motorcycle rider safety training course could reduce your motorcycle insurance costs.
Motorcycle Insurance Tips
Discounts are offered on motorcycle insurance for graduates the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) rider course. This training is highly regarded and is well worth the time and money invested in the course for those who want to lower their motorcycle insurance rates.
A good driving record without traffic violations will reduce your Motorcycle Insurance rates.
Bike riders can also save money by buying a "lay up" policy. With a lay up policy, all coverage except comprehensive is suspended during winter months.
Ask about discounts your motorcycle insurance representative offers. There may be multi bike discounts, motorcycle organization discounts, and mature rider discounts (for those who are more experienced riders). Discounts can vary widely depending on the motorcycle insurance company and where you live. Remember that sports bike insurance rate will be different than the rate on a cruiser.
Choose a motorcycle insurance company that fits your needs. Your local motorcycle shop may refer customers to an agent who rides or specializes in motorcycle insurance. Motorcycle magazines sometimes write insurance review articles in popular motorcycle trade publication s.
