    Exclamation Factors that Affect your Motorcycle Insurance Premium

    Hey Guys,

    There's a LOT of information and misinformation here on GTAM about what impacts your motorcycle insurance premium. I have put together a couple of tables of rating variables that can affect your premium. Your motorcycle insurance premium is determined based on a COMBINATION of many different rating variables. To get that absolute lowest rate possible, you would have to be the best within every category (some which may not be within your control).

    Hopefully this will put to rest the hundreds of repeated questions asked every season.

    Enjoy!

    Variables with Smaller (or ZERO) Impact:

    Can anyone tell me why these Photobucket Pics are showing at 50% instead of full size?

    Unless it's private, please post insurance-related questions in the forum rather than sending me a PM.

    I wrote it with the intent that it would become a sticky. Questions regarding the content of these tables come up daily in the forum, so it's easier to have it all in one reference thread.

    Please do not take threads off-topic, to serve private agendas. If you have something to say, and it's appropriate to the forum, make your own new thread.
