Which Type of Rider Are You?
The Daily Rider
You use the motorcycle for work, school, errands, or regular transportation. Your annual mileage, riding frequency, storage, and normal routes can all matter.
The Weekend Rider
You mainly ride for recreation. Even with fewer miles, you still need required liability coverage and should consider what would happen if the bike were damaged or stolen.
The Seasonal Rider
You ride more during certain months and store the motorcycle during colder weather. Do not cancel or reduce coverage without understanding how theft, fire, weather damage, registration, and a lender may be affected.
The Financed-Bike Owner
Your lender will commonly require collision and comprehensive coverage. The financing agreement may also limit the deductible you can choose.
The Custom-Bike Owner
Custom paint, upgraded exhaust, saddlebags, electronics, and other modifications may not be fully addressed by basic coverage. Keep receipts and disclose upgrades.
The Passenger Rider
If you carry passengers, ask how the policy handles passenger injuries. Do not assume every coverage automatically applies in the same way.
