Is Motorcycle Insurance Required in Massachusetts?

Yes, motorcycle insurance is legally required in Massachusetts. To operate a motorcycle on public roads, riders must carry active liability insurance that meets the state’s minimum requirements. Proof of coverage is needed to register your motorcycle, and riding without valid insurance can result in steep fines, license suspension, and other penalties.

Minimum Motorcycle Insurance Coverage Requirements in Massachusetts

Massachusetts law sets specific liability coverage minimums that motorcyclists must carry:

Coverage Type What It Covers Massachusetts Minimum Limit
Bodily Injury Liability Injuries to others in an accident $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident
Property Damage Liability Damage to someone else’s property $30,000 per accident
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Injuries if the other driver is uninsured $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident

These limits serve as the legal foundation, but many riders choose to increase their coverage to help reduce out-of-pocket costs after an accident.
