| Motorcycle Tips for the cost-conscious Rider:
Many companies offer discounts from 10 to 15 percent on motorcycle
insurance for graduates of training courses, such as the
Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) rider course. Riders under the
age of 25, usually considered a higher risk, may see some savings by
taking this course. It's also a good idea for cyclists who have already
had accidents. Maintaining a good driving record with no violations will
also help reduce your premiums.
In many northern states, riders may save money by buying a "lay up"
policy. With a lay up policy, all coverage except comprehensive is
suspended during winter months.
Find out what discounts your insurance representative offers. Multi bike
discounts for those insuring more than one bike, organization discounts
if you're a member of a motorcycle association, and mature rider
discounts for experienced riders are just a few possibilities. Discounts
can range anywhere from 10 to 20 percent depending on the company and
your state. Availability and qualifications for discounts vary from
company to company and state to state.
Keep in mind that the type, style (such as a sports bike vs. a cruiser),
age of the motorcycle, number of miles you drive a year and where you
store your bike may also affect how much you pay for your premium
