Motorcycle Insurance Georgia


Full Coverage for Your Bike and Custom Parts


Motorcycle insurance in Georgia costs $400–$2,000/year depending on your bike type, age, riding experience, and coverage. For a $15,000 Harley-Davidson ridden by an experienced rider (35+ years old) with full coverage, expect to pay $800–$1,200/year. If you're a Johns Creek, Alpharetta, or Milton rider who enjoys weekend rides through North Georgia mountains, Concierge Insurance Group provides motorcycle insurance that protects your bike and offers liability coverage — essential for financially responsible families with significant assets to protect. Your motorcycle is more than transportation — it's freedom ($10,000–$40,000+ for most North Atlanta riders). One accident, one theft, one lawsuit could cost you tens of thousands without proper insurance.

The Hidden Danger: Minimum Coverage Won't Protect You

Here's what most motorcycle riders don't realize:
Georgia only requires $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident in liability coverage. That's nowhere near enough if you cause a serious accident. Plus, minimum coverage doesn't protect your bike, your custom parts, or your medical bills.

Low Liability Limits

A policy that says $25k / $50k will not cover medical bills, lost wages, and pain & suffering from a serious crash.

No Collision Coverage

If you crash, minimum liability doesn't pay to repair or replace your motorcycle — you get nothing for collision damage.

No Custom Parts Coverage

Your $10,000+ in upgrades—exhausts, tuned engines, custom paint—are typically not covered under minimum policies.

The result

You cause an accident and injure someone seriously — they sue for $300,000.
Your minimum coverage pays $50,000. You owe: $250,000

Don’t rely on the minimum. Consider higher liability limits, collision coverage, and agreed-value protection for custom parts so a single incident doesn’t cost you everything.

What You Risk Without Full Motorcycle Insurance

Real scenario from Alpharetta:
An Alpharetta rider (experienced, clean record) was riding his $20,000 Harley-Davidson on GA-400. A car pulled out in front of him. He swerved to avoid it and crashed.

Injuries:

  • Broken leg, shoulder, ribs
  • Surgery and rehabilitation
  • 3 months off work

Damage:

  • His Harley: $20,000 (totaled)
  • Custom parts (exhaust, wheels, paint): $4,500
  • Medical bills: $35,000
  • Lost wages: $12,000
  • Total: $71,500

His insurance: Minimum coverage only

  • Collision coverage: $0 (didn't have it)
  • Medical payments: $0 (didn't have it)
  • He paid out of pocket: $71,500

The result:

  • Drained his emergency fund ($20,000)
  • Took out loans ($15,000)
  • Used retirement savings ($25,000)
  • Set his financial goals back 5 years
  • Massive stress and regret

All because he only had minimum coverage. Full coverage would have cost roughly $1,200/year and covered everything.

What he could have lost:

  • His $20,000 Harley
  • His $4,500 in custom parts
  • His emergency fund
  • His retirement savings
  • His financial peace of mind

    Why Motorcycle Insurance Costs More Than Auto Insurance

    • Higher risk – Motorcycles have a 30x higher fatality rate than cars
    • More accidents – Riders are more likely to crash per mile
    • Severe injuries – Motorcycle accidents often cause major injuries
    • Theft – Motorcycles are stolen more often than cars
    • Sport bikes – High-performance bikes come with higher risk

    Cruisers and touring bikes (Harley, Honda Gold Wing) are generally cheaper to insure than sport bikes.

    Factors That Affect Your Cost

    Increase cost:

    • Sport bikes (Yamaha R1, Suzuki GSX-R, Kawasaki Ninja)
    • Younger rider (under 25)
    • Poor driving or riding record
    • Low experience (less than 2 years)
    • Urban area (higher theft rates)
    • Low deductibles
    • High coverage limits

    Decrease cost:

    • Cruisers or touring bikes (Harley, Honda Gold Wing, Indian)
    • Experienced rider (35+ years old)
    • Clean driving/riding record
    • MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) course (5–10% discount)
    • Multi-policy discount (bundle with auto/home = 10–20% off)
    • Anti-theft devices (GPS, alarm)
    • Garage storage
    • Higher deductibles ($1,000 vs. $500)
    • Mature rider discount (50+ years old)

    What Happens Without Full Motorcycle Insurance (Real Scenarios)

    Problem #1: Minimum Coverage Won't Cover a Serious Accident

    Georgia minimum: $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident

    Example: Johns Creek Rider Causes Accident
    You’re riding on GA-400 and accidentally rear-end a car. The driver suffers serious injuries.

    • The lawsuit: $300,000
    • Medical bills: $150,000
    • Lost wages: $100,000
    • Pain and suffering: $50,000

    Your minimum coverage:

    • Liability limit: $25,000 per person
    • Paid: $25,000
    • You owe: $275,000

    What’s at risk:

    • Your home equity
    • Your savings and retirement accounts
    • Your future wages (garnished)

    With full coverage ($250k liability + $1M umbrella):
    Liability coverage: $250,000
    Umbrella coverage: $1,000,000
    Total coverage: $1.25 million
    Paid: $300,000
    You owe: $0

    Problem #2: No Collision Coverage = You Pay for Your Bike

    Example: Alpharetta Harley Crash
    You’re riding your $20,000 Harley on a mountain road. You hit gravel in a curve and crash. The bike is totaled.

    Your minimum coverage:

    • Collision coverage: $0 (didn’t have it)
    • You lost: $20,000

    With full coverage (collision):
    Collision coverage: $20,000
    Paid: $19,000 (after $1,000 deductible)
    You owe: $1,000

    Cost difference:
    Minimum coverage: $150/year
    Full coverage: $350/year
    Difference: $200/year
    What you lost by saving $200/year: $19,000

    Problem #3: Custom Parts Not Covered

    Example: Milton Custom Harley Theft
    Your custom Harley is stolen from your driveway.

    • Base bike value: $15,000
    • Custom parts (exhaust, wheels, paint, bags): $10,000
    • Total value: $25,000

    Your standard motorcycle insurance:

    • Covers base bike: $15,000
    • Covers custom parts: $0
    • You lost: $10,000

    With full coverage (custom parts & equipment):
    Covers base bike: $15,000
    Covers custom parts: $10,000
    Total paid: $25,000
    You owe: $0 (minus deductible)

    Problem #4: No Medical Coverage for Your Injuries

    Example: Duluth Rider Hit by Uninsured Driver
    An uninsured driver runs a red light and hits you. You suffer serious injuries.

    • Your medical bills: $100,000
    • Surgery: $50,000
    • Hospital stay: $30,000
    • Rehabilitation: $20,000

    The other driver:

    • No insurance
    • No assets
    • Can’t pay

    Your minimum motorcycle coverage:

    • Medical payments: $0
    • Uninsured motorist: $0
    • You pay: $100,000

    With full coverage (medical payments + uninsured motorist):
    Medical payments: $25,000
    Uninsured motorist: $100,000
    Total coverage: $125,000
    Paid: $100,000
    You owe: $0

    Don’t wait for a real-world scenario to prove how costly minimum coverage can be. Protect your bike, your health, and your finances with full motorcycle insurance.

    Full Coverage vs. Minimum Coverage: What's the Difference?

    Coverage Minimum (Liability Only) Full Coverage
    Liability $25k/$50k (state minimum) $250k–$1M (recommended)
    Collision ✗ Not included ✓ Included
    Comprehensive ✗ Not included ✓ Included
    Medical Payments ✗ Not included ✓ $25k–$100k
    Uninsured Motorist ✗ Not included ✓ $100k–$250k
    Custom Parts ✗ Not included ✓ $10k+
    Roadside Assistance ✗ Not included ✓ Included
    Cost $150–$300/year $350–$700/year

    What It Covers

    Minimum coverage: Only damage you cause to others (limited)

    Full coverage: Everything — your bike, medical bills, custom parts, and more

    When Minimum Coverage Makes Sense

    • Your bike is worth less than $5,000
    • You can afford to replace it out of pocket
    • You have excellent health insurance
    • You have low net worth (under $50k)
    • You rarely ride (under 2,000 miles/year)

    Even then, you should increase liability limits to $250k–$1M.

    When Full Coverage Is Essential

    • Your bike is worth $10k+ ✓
    • You have custom parts ✓
    • You can’t afford to replace your bike ✓
    • You ride frequently ✓
    • You have significant assets ($250k+ net worth) ✓
    • You follow Dave Ramsey's principles ✓

    For most North Atlanta riders, full coverage is essential.
