Pays out for damage to your motorcycle, minus your deductible amount.

Pays out if your motorcycle is stolen or damaged by something other than a collision with another vehicle. Animal collisions are covered.
Medical Payments
Not available in all states, medical payments coverage pays for medical bills if you and your passenger are injured in an accident.
