What should a basic motorcycle insurance policy cover?

Only want enough coverage to get you legally on the road? The coverage mentioned just now will do the trick.

However, we must caution you against the bare minimum. This level of coverage is not enough to protect you, your bike, or your bank account in the event of a big accident.

Instead, consider opting for a full-coverage policy with increased liability limits. This coverage can pay for repair costs if your bike is damaged due to a variety of causes, such as accidents, vandalism, and theft.

Here’s what you should consider including in your motorcycle insurance policy:

Custom parts and equipment (CPE) coverage

for modded bikes

Uninsured motorist coverage

Medical payments (MedPay)

, if available with your insurance company

Roadside assistance and

towing

Carried contents and personal belongings coverage

Total loss coverage

Your bare-minimum liability policy will only pay for the damage you cause to someone else’s stuff. You could be facing tens of thousands of dollars in repair costs and medical expenses if you only have the state minimums.
