Common Motorcycle Insurance Questions  

What is motorcycle insurance?  

A motorcycle is a motor vehicle that is at risk of the same hazards that could impact every other vehicle. But it is still a lot different from your average car or truck. It has two wheels, requires special skill to operate and doesn’t provide the protection of the average car.  

As a result, bikers need personalized insurance coverage. However, they won’t find it in a regular auto insurance plan. Only through motorcycle insurance will the owner be able to receive the proper protection to keep both them and their vehicle secure in the event of a sudden loss.

Why do you need motorcycle insurance?  

Under the average motorcycle insurance policy, you will have a guarantee of financial assistance if you ever face a sudden, unavoidable loss involving your bike. The key to this coverage is that it will help you pay for accident damage, settlements and other challenges that could always arise (whether you are on the road or parked in your driveway) and save you a lot of money in personal losses.
