Looking into other types of rides? Dairyland also offers coverage options for dirt bike, mopeds, and scooter. Riders exploring newer or less traditional options can also learn more about electric motorcycles and what an autocycle is.
Insurance costs can vary by motorcycle type, too. In general, lower-horsepower bikes, such as many standard motorcycles, may cost less to insure than higher-performance bikes, though rates depend on factors like the bike, rider, coverages, and location.
Insurance quotes are quick and free. You’ll just need to:
Have your bike’s year, make, model, and vehicle identification number (VIN) on hand.
Answer some additional questions about your bike (e.g. customizations, where it’s kept, whether you’ve taken a rider safety course, etc.).
Select the coverages you want.
Motorcycle insurance can start as low as $15 per month.** The cost of coverage depends on several factors, including:
Where you live
Your riding history
The coverages and limits you choose
Your deductible
A Dairyland representative can walk you through the details and help you review your options.

Motorcycles can often cost less to insure than cars, but there’s no one-size-fits-all rate. What you pay can depend on where you live, your riding history, the motorcycle you own, how you use it, and the coverages and limits you choose.
A lower premium doesn’t always mean a better fit, though. Choosing broader protection, lower deductibles, or optional coverages can raise your premium, but those choices may also offer more protection for your bike and budget if something happens.
Less expensive, lower horsepower motorcycles—like standard bikes—typically allow for the cheapest insurance premiums. The bike itself is less expensive, and the low horsepower reduces the likelihood of getting in an accident, so it can be considered less of a risk to insurers.
Other types of motorcycles, like sport bikes, tend to be more expensive and higher horsepower, which can lead many insurers to require higher insurance premiums to make up for the higher risk factors.

Motorcycle insurance requirements vary by state. Review Dairyland’s state motorcycle insurance requirements to see what may apply where you live.
In addition to coverages required by your state, riders often look at collision, comprehensive, guest passenger liability, and optional equipment coverage based on how they use and store their bike.
Guest passenger liability provides coverage for medical expenses if your passenger is injured in an at-fault accident. Availability and details can vary by state and policy.
A deductible is the amount you pay out of pocket before certain coverages, such as collision or comprehensive, begin to take effect on a covered claim. Choosing a higher deductible can lower your premium, but you’ll pay more out-of-pocket if you file a claim.
If a motorcycle is declared a total loss after a covered claim, the claim settlement is generally based on the terms of the policy and the value of the bike at the time of loss. Riders with replacement cost coverage may have different protection than riders without it. Coverage details vary, so it’s important to review your policy language.
Some riders may still ride during warmer winter days, and some may want to keep certain protections in place while the bike is stored. Before making changes, review your policy carefully.
If your motorcycle is stolen, start by contacting law enforcement and then notify your insurance provider. Your insurer will guide you through the claims process and advise you on the next steps to take. For more information, see Dairyland's guide on steps to take if your motorcycle is stolen.
