Common Motorcycle Insurance Questions:
What is motorcycle insurance?
A motorcycle is a motorized vehicle that is in danger of encountering the same accident and operational hazards as any other vehicle. Yet, it is very different from a standard car or truck. Motorcycles have two wheels and require unique skills to operate. They also don’t give riders the same level of protection as a standard car.
Due to this, bikers need customized insurance coverage that can’t be found within a standard auto insurance plan. Motorcycle Insurance allows for owners to receive necessary protection to keep themselves and their vehicle protected in case of sudden loss.
Why do you need motorcycle insurance?
Under the standard motorcycle insurance policy, you will receive the assurance of financial assistance if you ever experience an unexpected, unpreventable loss involving your bike. This coverage will assist in paying for accident damage, settlements and other obstacles that may come your way. Whether you are on the road or parked on your driveway, this coverage will save you money and alleviate potential personal losses.

Am I required to buy motorcycle insurance?
In Pennsylvania motorcycle insurance is required, and you must carry at least the following coverage.
Medical Benefits (No-Fault): $5,000
Bodily Injury Liability: $15,000 per person/$30,000 per accident
Property Damage Liability: $5,000
Some companies offer a single limit of $35,000 which meets the bodily injury liability and property damage liability minimum requirements.
Limited or Full Tort — You can choose to have full or limited tort coverage. Limited tort coverage offers you a savings on your premiums. You are still able to recover all out-of-pocket medical and other expenses; however, you are not able to recover certain damages – such as payments for pain and suffering – unless the injuries meet one of the exceptions to limited tort as defined in Act 6 of 1990, title 75, section 1705 (d). With full tort coverage selection, you retain unrestricted rights to bring suit against the negligent party.”
It may be required for bikers who have financed their bikes to purchase collision, comprehensive, gap or other physical damage insurance in agreement with lender rules.
