A sport bike is a type of motorcycle designed and optimized for acceleration, speed, cornering, and braking with asphalt and concrete roads or race tracks in mind.
Out of all road-legal motorcycles available, sport bikes are considered the fastest. They tend to be made with lightweight frames, typically aluminum and other lightweight materials. This boosts their side-to-side maneuverability.
Although most sport bike manufacturers concentrate on high speeds and fast acceleration, some sub-categories of sports motorcycles are available. A good example here is sport touring bikes, which are designed for longer trips.
The short answer to this question is YES. While insurance laws change depending on your state, most have a legal requirement to take out liability insurance to operate your sport bike lawfully on the road.
At Harley-Davidson Insurance Services, we’ll match you with the appropriate insurance coverage based on your sport bike and the legal requirements in your state, so you have peace of mind.
Liability insurance is designed to provide you financial protection if your sport bike causes damage to another person or their vehicle. This is the basic minimum insurance you’re required to have in most states.
However, the extent of coverage will be subject to the policy limits vs. the amount of damage.
It’s well worth considering a more inclusive plan so that you may be insured if an unexpected incident happens. There are many ways to add extra protection from theft and collision to medical payment coverage.
With Harley-Davidson® Insurance, we have made it easy to find the right sport bike insurance plan for you, as we have a broad range of coverages and add-ons available. Some of our most popular options include:
You can benefit from Replacement Cost coverage if your sports bike is beyond repair and deemed a total loss. While many firms only offer replacement costs based on depreciation, this coverage will replace your bike at its full value.
This coverage is available when your motorcycle has not been previously owned at the time of your purchase and is a current model year or one year older than that.
Comprehensive coverages ensures protection for damage to your bike from a wide range of causes including vandalism, fire, and theft.
Accessories coverage protects custom or additional parts and accessories added to a motorcycle that are not factory standard as defined by the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number).
This protects against damage or theft and covers the cost of repair or replacement without requiring the policyholder to bear the full financial burden themselves.
Some insurance companies may title this accessories coverage ‘Optional Equipment’.
Customizing your sport bike to add value differs from personalizing it for comfort. Optional Equipment Replacement coverage provides financial protection from the cost of damaged optional equipment added to a motorcycle, including high-performance parts, chrome accents, and aftermarket exhaust systems.
If the equipment is damaged or destroyed in the same event that results in the motorcycle being a total loss, the policyholder will receive full compensation to replace it.
The cost of your insurance policy will differ based on the type of sport bike you ride and several other factors.
