Introduction to motorcycle insurance
The purpose of motorcycle insurance is to protect yourself from certain financial losses that may occur as a result of owning and/or operating a motorcycle. Motorcycle insurance is a contract between the policyholder and the motorcycle insurance company, whereby the policyholder pays an agreed upon premium, and the motorcycle insurance company agrees to pay for any motorcycle-related losses that may occur as outlined in the motorcycle insurance policy.

Motorcycle insurance and the law
If you are going to drive a motorcycle, you need to purchase a basic minimum level of insurance coverage. If you are caught without it, motorcycle riders could have their license suspended and face other penalties.

What motorcycle insurance protects
Your motorcycle insurance usually protects three main areas: property damage, liability and medical coverage. Property damage pays for theft or damage to your motorbike. Liability pays for your legal responsibility to others for property damage or injuries. Medical coverage pays for the cost of treating injuries, rehabilitation and sometimes lost wages and funeral expenses.
