Required Standards

Generally, a basic liability policy will only protect against accidents that you caused. It will not usually pay for the repairs to your bike or any other damages to your personal property when you cause an accident.
Getting Additional Protection
Although there are state minimums that you must follow, there is no maximum standard set by the state. You can purchase any coverage that you feel is necessary for your motorcycle.
Policies can vary between insurance providers, so you may want to consider purchasing a comprehensive plan and collision coverage if you want to protect your bike and personal property. Additional protection can also include more than the state standards for liability protection so that you will have the coverage that you need in case an accident occurs and the minimum amount is not enough to pay for the damages that you caused.
