A:

Insurance companies have detailed statistics to prove that riding a motorcycle can be dangerous. Adequate insurance coverage can therefore be expensive, but the high accident and injury rate is precisely the reason why you should protect yourself adequately, whatever the price may be. First, find a reputable insurance company specialized in motorcycle risk coverage. Second, look up the minimum levels of coverage imposed by Wisconsin state law. Do not just go for these minimum levels, because they are insufficient to cover your liability towards third parties if you have caused an accident with injuries and material damage. Discuss with the insurance broker the various policies you need to protect you. The most important one is to cover the risks arising from underinsured or uninsured motorists. You can decide whether you need to take insurance to cover a passenger or to recover all material damages to your motorcycle.
