Motorcycle Insurance Rates - Learn 8 Simple Factors that Determine Your Rate of Insurance

There are many different levels of motorcycle insurance rates, and a ton of different factors that determine your rate of insurance. Below I will list 8 different factors that will raise or lower your insurance rate, along with 3 different kinds of insurance you can get for your motorcycle.

These factors will drive up your premiums:

- A more expensive bike means higher insurance rates because of an increase in the cost of parts

- if you have had speeding tickets it will stay on your record for around 3 years, this could increase your rates

- have you been in an accident in the last 6 years? If you have, it is still on your record and this will also increase insurance.

These factors will lower your premiums:

- consolidate insurance; combine your insurance with other insurance you have will lower your rates considerably

- a cheaper bike means cheaper insurance because it cost less to replace the parts

- if it is an older bike, that is not a valuable classic, then you might want to drop collision, as it might be cheaper to just buy a new bike.

- less miles you put on the less your premiums will be, are you a pleasure driver or a commuter?

- are you an experienced driver? This could lower your rates, as long as you have a clean driving record.

3 Different types of insurance:

Liability insurance

- covers injuries and damages to the other driver
- cheapest rates, but only covers the other driver

Comprehensive Insurance:

- covers replacement cost of motorcycle for fire and vandalism

Collision Insurance:

- covers cost to replace bike

- always make sure that it is the actual cost of bike, not depreciated value

As you can see, there are many factors when determining motorcycle insurance rates, and you should take a look at all of them so that you have a greater understanding of what you are getting yourself into. And a great way to get the best rates is to consolidate your insurance. If the rates seem higher than somewhere else, just show them the quote, they may just try to match it to keep your business. Shop around, try to get as many quotes as possible, you never know, you might even find a better place to combine all your insurances into one big package to make things easier. It is always best to pay as few places as possible, makes things less complicated this way.

There are many reasons for the best motorcycle helmet which we will not go into here. What is more important is where and how to get a motorcycle helmet at a good price. And the most important thing in a helmet is does it carry the Department of Transportation certification. In the helmet DOT certified?

The DOT has specific safety standards that motorcycle helmets meet or exceed to be certified. Some of the requirements are simple and others are more complex. Some motorcycle helmets can improve a rider’s vision while riding.

Some features a first-rate helmet should have, whether it is costly or not. Excellent motorcycle helmets are made with an expanded polystyrene foam lining inside the helmet. The well-made helmets should fit comfortably, not fall off when they are needed most, and provide substantial facial protection. There are a number of the best motorcycle helmet providers carry helmets that meet these qualifications.

A lot of weight is given to the helmet’s appearance, color, finish, and graphics in the selection process. Not the most important thing for a rider, but for most a rider will select a helmet that speaks to their individual personality. Another important factor to add to your helmet selection is go for the florescent or solid colors that are easily visible.

There have been many improvements in motorcycle helmets over the last 50 years or so. The idea here is to wear a good one. So choose one, half helmets, full face helmets, Harley helmets, full face motorcycle helmet, carbon fiber helmets, 3/4 helmets, Daytona helmets, half motorcycle helmets, discount helmet and Shorty helmets to improve your motorcycle safety.

ATV motorcycles have had a rocky life introduced in the early 1970s and produced alarming injury rates for children and adolescents (mainly due to improper and irresponsible use). Reports say ATVs are as dangerous as Motorcycles, based on mortality and injury rates. Children and women are injured on ATVs, this group also have a lower rate of helmet use.

ATV Motorcycles change from the three wheel ATV to the four wheel ATV hopping to produce a safer product. But still the reports in 2005 were over 130,000 were treated in hospitals in the US alone. The injury rates are so high some of the focus has changed to machine size to usage of ATVs categorizing age with engine size.

The big problem will always be no mater the size children, adolescents and adults will always play and get wild and crazy because all ATVs are a lot of fun. Authorities want to ban them altogether and have been successful in some places.

ATV motorcycle is a motorcycle today with 4 wheels when used properly can be a fantastic tool. They are just about go anywhere work horses for rough terrain and snow. When used safely they are fantastic, when there are big properties involved the ATV is required to have.

The environmentalists criticize ATV riding as a sport because of excessive use in areas biologists consider to be sensitive. The deep treads on some ATV tires are very effective for navigating rocky, muddy and root covered terrain. The deep tread digs channels that may drain bogs, increase sedimentation in streams at crossings, damage snowmobile trails and cause destruction in many ecosystems.

ATV advocacy groups trying to save the sport have been organized to purchase property or obtain permission of landowners. Today we have clubs that build and maintain trails, suitable for ATV riding and educate ATV riders about responsible riding. These clubs are not compensated for their efforts from taxpayer money, and many have formed separate governing bodies that license ATVs separately.

Self-regulation of ATV use has proven particularly difficult. One public complaint against ATVs is excessive noise. When you add it all up we could one day lose ATVs altogether. With the majority of ATVs comply with noise regulations; there are those whose intentional violation can disturb the activities of other recreational users. Changing an ATV's exhaust silencer and spark arrestor is illegal on all US federal lands. The law enforcement is spotty at best.

A great tool in the proper environment and very dangerous in the hands of those not responsible, please spread the word and be safe. Here are some of the top listings for ATVs.

The Indian Motorcycle Company began as a motorcycle manufacturer located in Kings Mountain, North Carolina. The Indian is America's oldest motorcycle brand and at one time the largest manufacturer of motorcycles in the world. Indian’s most popular models were the Indian Scout, in production prior to WWII, and the Indian Chief, which ran from 1922 up to the demise of Indian in 1953.

Recognized as the only true rival to Harley Davidson in 1940, Indian motorcycle Co. sold almost as many Indian motorcycles as Harley Davidson. In 1940 Indian motorcycles were the only American made highway cruisers to compete with Harley Davidson.

In 1999 starting with a merger of nine companies The Indian Motorcycle Co. of America was formed. The manufacturing plant was located in Gilroy, California. Their first production motorcycles started with an updated version of the Indian Chief. Later by 2001 Indian Scout and Indian Spirit models began to appear. The Indian motorcycles produced by the new company captured the nick name “Gilroy Indian Motorcycles”.

Motorcycle pricing can be from one end of the spectrum to the other. In fact, motorcycles pricing can be as different as individual bikers are different. Let me put it another way, you get what you pay for. For the entry level motorcycles pricing for basic entry level beginners or you have complex pricing structures for customized motorcycles made for experienced and knowledgeable riders.

On the low side of the motorcycles pricing scale are the basic starter level bikes. Prices come in at around twenty five hundred dollars for bare minimum, rear drum brake, 125cc engine, cruiser-type bike and scooters. Costs then rise to more than seventy five thousand dollars because a fully loaded chopper where every detail and lots of chrome is going to cost you.

Along the center of the normal valuation spectrum you'll find motorcycles in the range of six thousand to almost twenty four thousand. Most bikes fall within this category and motorcycles pricing will reflect any custom work. Form super quick sport bikes to upgraded better than entry level cruisers, you can start seeing what amounts to the top of the line for low end motorcycles and the bottom of the line for high end bikes. This is where the smaller priced versions of the more costly bikes begin.

Looking at motorcycles in the mid-range pricing you can find the basic touring models and some of the more stylized cruisers. Premium touches such as powder coating or chrome finishes will be lacking. That's not to say you'll be sacrificing quality. You'll still be getting your basic components such as engine size, gears, fuel capacity, etc., but the cosmetic finishes will be plain vanilla. Finishes will be durable for the class of bike, but nothing fancy. Prices here also reflect differences in wheel and tire sizes.

When you get to the $15,000 mark, you'll be in custom territory. At this price-range, options such as ABS brakes, air bags and classy saddle bags are available. Make it twenty thousand or more and you could revel in feature such as reverse, heated grips, heated seats, rider to passenger communication systems and windshields and kickstands that are operated electronically.

Any motorcyclist who has ridden on a chilly winter's day will truly appreciate one feature that is available in the higher end of the motorcycles pricing range. This accessory is known as a proximity key. With this key inside your pocket you could start up and operate your bike without ever having to remove your gloves. When it's below 32 degrees out there, the proximity key is worth its weight in gold.

For the novice rider, motorcycles pricing can be a bit confusing, but once you understand what features are considered upgrades and which are standard for the type of bike you want, you'll see that it becomes easier o research your dream bike. Customizing to the max for a low end bike may not be the best use of your budget if you can get the same or better functionality with an entry level model of a higher end make. At that point, you're only limited by your budget.

Three wheel motorcycles for sale have been around since the early nineteen hundreds. Popularity of the three wheel motorcycle trikes has gotten off to a slow start since then. The smooth and sassy new three wheeled motorcycles of today are real solid citizens on the highways.

Three wheel motorcycle trikes are real honeys to handle and sure footed on the curves, beautifully smooth on the highways always quick and quiet in their response to your touch. Three wheeled motorcycles are enjoying a fierce comeback to the recreational cycling community.

While three wheeled motorcycles might have gotten their start in the service industry, today they are enjoying growing popularity as mainstream motorcycles for enthusiasts’. While many of today’s production three wheelers feature the extra wheel in the front, the back of the bike is where three wheelers got their start, most three wheelers or trikes as they are most commonly known are converted two wheel motorcycles.

Converting a motorcycle to a three wheeler was often the only way an older, smaller or disabled rider would be able to stay in the saddle. Not having to put your feet down and support a motorcycle that can often weigh in the neighborhood of a thousand pounds for a touring motorcycle can keep the door to motorcycling open to many riders that may not feel comfortable with supporting that much weight.

Three wheeled motorcycles are more are proven to be more suitable to adverse driving conditions such as poor weather. Admittedly riding in slick, snowy weather is not a good idea with a two wheeled motorcycle. However, the addition of the third wheel provides additional support and traction to keep going.

The three wheel trike conversion kit can add a ton of additional storage to your bike by enclosing the rear axle with a car like trunk area, finished off with a trailer hitch and recessed license plate mount. Conversion kits can either replace the drive wheel of the motorcycle altogether or mount to the motorcycle as sort of a set of outriggers or training wheels.

Today used three wheel motorcycles for sale number in the thousands. But it’s not just the backyard junk of the past. You have high quality custom trikes with chrome and beautiful custom paint jobs. Ever amenity you can think of navigational GPS, dual controlled stereo, heated seating and intercom to communicate with your passengers.

Not just for the rich, famous and shameless any longer custom built motorcycles can be well within the reach of ordinary people like me.  As more choices become available, pricing for customizing your own set of wheels is no longer prohibitive.  If you can dream it, you can build it, subject only to your budget.

With custom built motorcycles, you can decide whatever changes and components you need to truly make your bike your own.  Whether the chopper style, custom frame design, super stretched or compact, you get to decide.  You can choose the components for the drive train as well as run all cables and wires through the frame to gain a neat clean appearance.

Selecting engine size, horsepower and torque are all up to you.  If you want the latest in technology but prefer the classic lines of a vintage bike, there is no reason why you can't incorporate that technology in custom built your own motorcycle while preserving the look and feel of a bike made from a bygone era.

You can set up your transmission as five or six speed and choose between hand or foot-shifted and today there is automatic.  With custom built motorcycles, how you decide to route the engine's power to the drive wheel is entirely up to you. Although mechanisms such as belt or chain drive are more commonly used, you can opt for drive shaft or even the more complex gear drive to transmit power to the drive wheel.  Brake choices are also available, so if dual disk is your preference, you can set it up.

Fans of custom built motorcycles tend to be a bit more mechanically inclined and can opt for a carbureted engine that they can fine tune if they prefer. Or you can settle on a custom fuel injected motorcycle engine. Lighting can also be designed with both safety and cosmetic appeal in mind.  Custom motorcycle headlamps can make nighttime riding a better experience.  Further visibility can be improved with LED lamps for tail lights as well as directional signals.

Whatever form or shape you want your bike to take, custom built motorcycles can be built from the ground up at a motorcycle fabrication shop.  You can of course opt for a factory built motorcycle that you can then customize.  However, this choice is more limiting in that there may be fewer add-ons available to truly customize your bike.  If you choose to build your motorcycle, you can incorporate whichever features you desire.  If you can make it work for your bike, then you can go for it.

When it comes time to put the finishing touches on a bike, decorative elements on custom built motorcycles are where you can escape mediocrity.  You can hand paint whatever designs your mind's eye envisions, or add subtle undertones to amplify color changes under different lighting conditions. With unlimited color options and gleaming chrome at your disposal, your personal statement can be as bold or subdued as you like.

The saying, cheap motorcycles ranks right up there with affordable health care, the only difference is you can actually buy a cheap motorcycle. As always buyer beware, because as the old saying goes you get what you pay for is especially true when it comes to motorcycles.

Cheap, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. Even extremely overpriced motorcycle manufacturers offer what they consider “cheap” versions of some of their higher end motorcycles. These more affordable motorcycles are usually very basic models with differences like plain wheels and less chrome and an engine that features a plain unfinished casing instead of receiving a powder coating treatment.

For riders who love to tinker with and customize their motorcycles the basic version may be the way to go as you don’t have to pay for extra features that you might end up taking off later. And for some riders these stripped down, hop on and ride models might be all that they need for their motorcycle adventures. So a cheap motorcycle may be just what the doctor ordered.

Small prices and small engines usually go hand in hand so you can expect to sacrifice some power for those lower prices regardless of the style of motorcycle you choose. Chances are if you are looking for a genuinely cheap motorcycle this will not be an issue. The problem with cheap motorcycles is that usually plague the more experience motorcycle riders with some features they had before are missing.

With touring motorcycles being an exception the other styles of motorcycles are all available in a truly cheap package. Boulevard bikes, café racers, enduro motorsports, and other sport bikes are all available in affordable packages; bear in mind that while these are usually geared towards motorcycle beginners they can offer tremendous bare bones functionality. Most of the models in this price range are lower power models usually less than six hundred cc’s.

The one factor with having a smaller engine is that you probably will not notice the lack of the advanced braking systems usually offered on their higher priced counterparts. Often times you will find drum brakes where disk would and should be, but that trend seems to be riding into the sunset though not as fast as we’d like. Cheap motorcycles need brakes too and safety is an overriding factor even for motorcycle manufacturers.

While there may be some slight mechanical differences in addition to subtle almost unnoticeable changes like differences in tire sizes, the majority of the other differences that make these bikes affordable are cosmetic. Cheaper seats, unfinished engine and transmission casings, plain where there would otherwise be chrome and dyed plastic instead of painted metal or fiberglass make up the majority of the cost cutting materials. The quality of workmanship remains the same even in these low priced models as the manufacturer wants you to ride their machine, and they will be there for you as you gain experience, money, or simply want to ride something different.

Three wheel motorcycles have been around since the 1900s. From towing cars to the garage for repairs to lugging around ice cream for sale, three wheel motorcycles were a part of the motorcycling landscape for a long time. Their appeal has endured the test of time and now they are enjoying a well-deserved comeback in recreational three wheel motorcycling.

The three wheeled motorcycles of yesterday might have begun life as service vehicles, but they are evolving into popular mainstream motorcycle unlike other fad bikes from earlier decades, most of today’s available three wheelers incorporate the additional wheel at the front, However, prior models placed them in the back. Modern trikes as they are also called are mostly two wheel motorcycles that have been converted.

Converting a two wheeled motorcycle to a three wheeler was frequently the main method the older or disabled rider could continue riding. A touring motorcycle can weigh in the area of a thousand pounds. By incorporating a third wheel, a rider did not have to support that weight, leaving the window for riding open longer for these riders. Smaller riders also benefit from three wheel motorcycles.

Three wheeled motorcycles are more stable under adverse driving conditions such as poor weather. Admittedly riding in slick, snowy weather is not a good idea with a two wheeled motorcycle. However, the addition of the third wheel provides additional support and traction to keep going.

With a three wheel conversion kit you could potentially add extra storage space to your bike. By enclosing the rear axle in a trunk like fashion, you can finish with a trailer hitch. Conversion equipment could completely replace the drive wheel of the motorcycle or be mounted to the motorcycle similar to training wheels on a bicycle. Normally an independent rear suspension assembly or solid axle would replace the rear or drive wheel of the motorcycle. This setup drives both rear tires and provides better traction in all but the most severe weather conditions. You could then ride all year long if that's your wish.

Production three wheel motorcycles basically use a two front wheel setup. The new design dual front wheels are touted as capable of improved handling more so than double rear wheels while at the same time providing the same stability.

Three wheel motorcycles conversion kits starts at almost four thousand dollars and can tip the scale at fifteen thousand dollars with respect to cost of installation and any options selected. Available options include custom matching of paint to your motorcycle, trailer hitches, lights, added storage and your choice of wheel and tire combinations.

Flip up motorcycle helmets are similar to full face helmets in that they have a face shield and come with accessories as well. The major difference is that as the name implies, the rider can flip up the face shield for more ventilation and to drink or eat without removing the helmet.

Open face motorcycle helmets offer less protection for the face than full face helmets. The rider has a less restricted view as well. This type of helmet has a large flip up or detachable face shield that does not enclose the bottom of the helmet like a full face helmet. This allows more airflow around the rider's face.

The least protective type of motorcycle helmets is the half shell helmet. Also referred to as the beanie helmet, this style basically sits on the rider's cranium and covers up to the upper half of the head without blocking the ears. They are usually lightweight and have little wind resistance. Riders who will only wear helmets when required to do so by law typically select the half shell helmet as it is the least restrictive in terms of wear ability.

Motorcycle helmets come in a huge variety of styles that bikers can choose from to match their riding needs and for the levels of protection and comfort they desire. It should come as no surprise that the more expensive higher end helmets such as full face helmets offer the most protection and can be tailored to provide greater rider comfort. Regardless of cost and style, every helmet made for the US market must comply with minimum standards set by the Department of Transportation.

The place these days to locate people or things is coincidentally the place to locate fantastic deals on motorcycles. Search for motorcycles for sale on Craigslist and you can reach out to buyers and sellers of almost any motorcycle model and accessories. Craigslist is available in many US cities and is also international.

Although you have the ability to search for motorcycles Craigslist is not very expansive when it comes to drilling down for specifics. While that can make it extremely easy to use, you end up having to scroll through dozens of listings to see if something catches your eye. You can search for price ranges, photo enhanced ads and keyword phrases although you can view ads from around the globe you will need to switch between regions to access the information. While this is useful for research, it can be quite tedious and maddening to realize that your dream bike is listed in Singapore when you live in Florida.

Craigslist shines in that you can get in touch with potential customers or vendors who are familiar with your area and speak the same lingo. Finding deals for motorcycles on Craigslist and discussing details with customers can be facilitated. In addition, registered users can access a Craigslist forum for motorcycle enthusiasts to share experiences and tips and to discuss the latest motorcycling news and events.

Even with Motorcycles Craigslist you should keep in mind and observe certain guidelines for the purchase of any used vehicle and take careful measures to guard against some of the risks involved in motorcycle riding.

Shopping for and buying a used motorcycle on Craigslist closely follows the same routine as that for a used car. However, with a bike you need to be much more diligent in examining the condition of the bike. Any unseen or undetected defect can be dangerous and pose a significant risk to your safety. While it may not be such a big thing if your car breaks down on the side of the highway, a wipe-out can spell disaster for a biker.

Most used motorcycles sellers don't like to just hand over the keys to the bike for a test run unless you first hand over the purchase price or some other form of security. When you think about it, this is not so unreasonable. Unless the seller knows you personally or is aware of your riding ability, he has no way of protecting his property in the event someone decides to pull a stupid stunt or runs off with the merchandise. So keep in mind that if you break it, you own it, like it or not.

One nice thing about Craigslist motorcycles is that it is geared towards bringing people together and not towards making money off of fees for smaller ads like motorcycles and other personal items. You just might save a few bucks, so whether you are buying or selling motorcycles Craigslist doesn't tack on a listing fee. And with today’s gas prices who can argue with that.
