What Classic Car Insurance Typically Covers

Motorcycle insurance is designed to protect you, your bike, and your financial well-being on the road. Coverage can be tailored to your riding habits, bike value, and risk exposure—going beyond minimum state requirements.

Liability Coverage

Required in New York, this pays for bodily injury or property damage you cause to others in an accident. It helps protect your personal assets from lawsuits and large out-of-pocket claims.

Collision Coverage

Helps repair or replace your motorcycle if it’s damaged in a collision with another vehicle or object. This coverage applies regardless of who is at fault.

Comprehensive Coverage

Protects your motorcycle against non-collision losses such as theft, vandalism, fire, severe weather, and animal strikes. It’s especially important for safeguarding your bike when it’s parked or stored.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage

Pays for injuries or damage if you’re hit by a driver who has little or no insurance. This coverage ensures you’re not left covering expenses caused by someone else’s lack of protection.

Accessory & Custom Parts Coverage

Can include protection for aftermarket upgrades like custom paint, chrome, exhaust systems, or added equipment. This ensures modifications are insured at their true value, not standard factory pricing.

Medical Payments (MedPay)

Covers medical expenses for you and your passenger after an accident, regardless of fault. This may include hospital bills, ambulance fees, and follow-up care.
