There are some coverages that are required by the state and others that may be optional. Liability coverages are usually required by the state and generally provide coverage for damages or injuries you may cause to others in an accident. There are other coverages you can add to cover damages to your motorcycle, accessories you have added, and even coverage to help provide towing and roadside assistance. You can choose optional limits and coverages to personalize your policy to meet your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does motorcycle insurance cover?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course you don&#8217;t&nbsp;<em>plan<\/em>&nbsp;on crashing your bike or having it stolen but if bad luck gives you the nod, you&#8217;ll be glad you have top notch cycle insurance coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having motorcycle insurance coverage benefits you, your bike and others on the road.

loans<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bursaries<\/strong>: For eligible students who meet academic and household income criteria (especially for TVET and university
