Why It Matters

Your Car Insurance Doesn't Cover Your Bike

Motorcycle insurance is a separate policy — and Ohio riders face unique risks that make the right coverage critical.

What your auto policy pays toward your motorcycle — bikes require their own separate coverage

Recorded tornado events within 15 miles of Springboro since 1950 — Ohio weather is a real risk for parked bikes too

Coverage Breakdown

What Your Motorcycle Policy Covers

A standard motorcycle policy includes these core coverage types — we tailor limits to your bike, your riding habits, and your budget.

Liability

Covers bodily injury and property damage to others if you cause an accident. Required by Ohio law — minimum limits are the same as auto: 25/50/25.

Collision

Covers damage to your bike from a crash regardless of fault — whether you hit another vehicle, a guardrail, or a pothole.

Comprehensive

Covers non-collision damage including theft, vandalism, hail, fire, and falling objects. Especially important during Ohio storm season.

Uninsured Motorist

Covers you if the at-fault driver has no insurance or not enough. Highly recommended — Ohio has one of the higher rates of uninsured drivers in the Midwest.

Know Your Limits

What Motorcycle Insurance Doesn't Cover

Understanding exclusions before you need to file a claim saves a lot of frustration. These are the most common gaps in motorcycle coverage.

Your Gear and Riding Equipment — Standard policies cover the bike but not your helmet, jacket, gloves, or boots. Inquire about adding a safety apparel endorsement to ensure your gear is protected.

Custom Parts and Accessories — Aftermarket exhaust, custom paint, saddlebags, and other modifications may exceed your standard policy limits. Schedule high-value upgrades separately for full coverage.

Racing and Track Use — Coverage is void if your bike is used in any organized race or speed contest. Track days and closed-course events are excluded regardless of whether they’re competitive.

Ride-Share or Delivery Use — Using your motorcycle for commercial delivery or ride-share services requires a separate commercial policy. Personal policies exclude business use.

What It Costs

How Much Does Motorcycle Insurance Cost in Ohio?

Ohio motorcycle insurance is typically one of the most affordable vehicle policies available — your exact rate depends on several factors specific to your bike and riding habits.

Your Bike — Engine size, age, make, and model all affect your rate. Sport bikes and high-displacement engines typically rate higher than cruisers or standard bikes.

How You Ride — Annual mileage, where you store your bike, and whether you ride year-round or seasonally all factor into your premium.

Your Riding History — A clean record lowers your rate significantly. Completing an MSF safety course can also qualify you for a discount.

Client Reviews

What Our Clients Say

MaryBeth Baker

We were a lifetimer client of Liberty Mutual and switched to Dan 4 or 5 years ago. We have our home and auto through him and also had a renter’s policy for a college apartment at Miami Oxford. He is a great agent who genuinely cares for his clients. At renewal time, he does a fantastic job at finding the best policy rates for our situations. He is quick to respond and has fantastic office assistent, Tiffani, who has jumped through hoops for us as well. I highly recommend this team of professionals!

Halie Carter

Dan is an amazing insurance agent! Very responsive and helpful. He saved us so much money!

B. Hood

Dan Bucklew and his team at Allstate have been fantastic to work with for our home and auto insurance. We appreciate having a local agent who is always available, responsive, and willing to go the extra mile like Dan is. What stood out most was how easy Dan made everything. He took the time to understand our family’s needs, explained our options clearly, and helped us feel confident that we had the right protection in place. The peace of mind we’ve gained from working with him has been invaluable. He has helped us several times during emergency situations and we don’t know what we would have done without him! If you’re looking for an insurance agent who genuinely cares about his clients and provides top-notch service, Dan is the person to call.

NATHAN HALL

Great service and a great agent, thank you Dan!

Stephanie Lyons

Tiffany and Dan have been nothing but exceptional to be in my family for over 10 years now. I have been with their office for all of my insurance needs, like our vehicles are boat and our homeowners insurance and his associates are great agents.

Lauren Orme

Asked for a quote for renters insurance and was done so quick and gave me the best option based on my needs!

Abbey Szabados

Daniel is quick to respond and easy to work with. He has helped in many ways this year and previous years to simplify insurance and claims.

Daniel Cooke

I have insured both home and auto with Bucklew and Associates for many years. Everyone at the office is always so friendly and helpful whenever I call in. Whether moving to a new house or buying a new car or even filing a claim - everything is always easy. I want to send a special shout-out to Dan! Today I was driving a dealer loaner car and accidentally ran out of gas. My roadside would not help me since I was driving a car that was not listed on my plan. I called and spoke with Tiffany at the office who was extremely nice and helpful. Dan ended up bringing me gas himself on the side the road. He put some gas in my tank himself and we had a really friendly and professional interaction. I could tell that both Tiffany and Dan truly understood and cared about my situation and bout me not just as a customer - but as a person who just needed some help. I want to point out I was a good 20 minutes from the office - Dan showed up 25 minutes after I called. That is the definition of what going above and beyond means to me. Thanks again Tiffany and Dan for everything! If anyone is in the market at all I strongly recommend giving them a call!

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is motorcycle insurance required in Ohio?

Yes — Ohio law requires minimum liability coverage of 25/50/25 on any motorized vehicle operated on public roads, including motorcycles. Riding without it can result in fines, license suspension, and SR-22 filings.

Does my auto insurance cover my motorcycle?

No — motorcycles require a separate policy. Your auto policy provides zero coverage for your bike regardless of carrier or coverage level.

Can I get coverage for my riding gear?

Standard policies cover the bike only. A safety apparel endorsement can cover your helmet, jacket, gloves, and boots — ask us about adding it when you request your quote.

Do I need insurance if I only ride seasonally?

Yes — even if your bike is in storage for the winter, comprehensive coverage protects against theft, fire, and weather damage year-round. The good news is our billing adjusts seasonally so you’re not paying full riding-season rates during the months your bike isn’t on the road.

Will completing an MSF course lower my premium?

Yes — We offer a discount for riders who complete a Motorcycle Safety Foundation course. It’s one of the easiest ways to lower your rate and improve your skills at the same time.

Can I bundle motorcycle and auto insurance?

Yes — bundling with Bucklew Insurance typically lowers both premiums and keeps all your coverage in one local relationship. Ask us about bundle pricing when you request your quote.
