Important Information About Motorcycle Insurance and Motorcycle Ownership

By Nancy Smith

Did you know that even though motorcycles only make up three percent of the vehicles on our roads today, that motorcycles make up a large amount of the auto thefts and auto accidents on a yearly basis in the United States? It's True. Five to ten motorcycles are stolen across the country every minute. Motorcycles are also involved in close to ten percent of all vehicular accidents, despite only being three percent of the vehicles on the road.

Because finding motorcycle insurance, and learning about the various types of insurance, is confusing to most new bike owners, we have put this article together to better inform you regarding the options and recommendations.

Deciding on what is the proper type of motorcycle insurance for you and your bike can be a big deal. Of course, considering how commonly motorcycles are stolen, you should highly consider full coverage. The hardest part really is deciding on what kind of insurance you want to purchase because the internet has made comparing prices so easy. With just a few clicks, you can have a broker searching for the best possible quotes, which will then allow you to compare them side by side.

Unlike cars that are for the most part used all year round, motorcycles are most often only used seasonally and this is something that often causes owners to opt for liability insurance rather than full cover. Before you decide on doing this we recommend that you think about if only buying liability insurance will be what you really want. What will happen if you crash your bike? The insurance company will not pay to replace it. As with all things in life, you get what you pay for so the best thing you can do, is to let your agent determine exactly what all is included in each quote.

The make and model you bike will have an influence on how much you will pay for motorcycle insurance. Sport bikes look good, they sound good and they are fast. Insurance companies are also aware of this so crotch rocket owners can expect to pay higher insurance prices. The other more expensive bikes to insure are touring bikes due to their size, cost and the amount of miles that they usually travel. Basically, insurance companies always take the kind of motorcycle you have into consideration when providing quotes.

Other factors, such as how much experience you have riding motorcycles or where you will be parking the motorcycle at night, also will have an influence on the price of your insurance premiums. As you can see, there are a whole host of aspects to determining what you will need to pay for your motorcycle insurance.

It is because of reasons like this that we recommend that you talk in detail about your motorcycle insurance needs with an insurance agent. They will be able to help you get the best deal while ensuring that you have all the coverage that you need. Remember, looking for insurance online is a great way to compare quotes side by side.

In closing, congratulations on buying your bike (or considering it if you have not yet purchased a motorcycle). We are sure that you will have hours of enjoyment in the seat. Ride safely and remember, always carry enough motorcycle insurance.
