Here’s some of the things that affects your price for motorcycle insurance
Location

Age and riding experience
Generally, rates decrease as you get old older, until you reach your 70s. Teenage riders pose the biggest risk for insurers, and will typically pay higher rates. If you’re an inexperienced motorcycle rider, you may pay a higher rate than a much younger rider with more experience. For example, a 30-year-old who just started riding may pay more than a 24-year-old with four years of experience and paying insurance.
Vehicle usage
If you ride to and from work, you’ll usually pay more than a casual weekend rider. Using bike for business purposes may make you ineligible for a personal motorcycle policy, requiring to get a business policy instead. At many insurers, annual mileage may also impact how your rate is calculated. The more you ride, the higher your rate.

Speeding and traffic tickets
A speeding ticket on your motor vehicle report will increase your price for motorcycle insurance, whether the violation happened in your car or on your bike. In most states, violations will usually fall off your driving record after 36 month where it will be forgotten and no longer charge you extra for it.against you or your family members if you're responsible for someone else's injuries or damages to their property. You can add extra coverages for libel, slander, or other lawsuits.
Accident and claim history
Any auto or motorcycle accident on your motor vehicle or claims history will likely increase your motorcycle insurance rate. At-fault accidents will generally be costlier than not-at-fault accidents, and most claims will negatively affect your insurance price.

Type of bike
When comparing motorcycles in the same class, the model with the bigger engine will usually cost more to insure. A high-performance bike has a greater risk for an accident than a touring model.
Coverage selection
Adding comprehensive and collision will cost you more than the state minimum liability coverage. While a liability-only policy will cost the least, it won’t protect your bike from physical damage.
The higher your deductible, the more of the repair or claim cost you’ll have to take on. That means your out-of-pocket costs will be higher at the time of the accident, but you’ll have a lower overall rate and vice versa.
