Best motorcycle insurance for most people: Progressive
-
Editor's rating
-
Cost: $15/month
A policy from Progressive is $10 per month cheaper than the state average. It matches Dairyland for the cheapest rates in Kansas. But Progressive's full coverage policies have more protection, and it offers better customer service.
Progressive motorcycle policies with comprehensive and collision coverage automatically include:
- Coverage for up to $3,000 in custom parts and accessories
- Original manufacturer parts (OEM) coverage
- Replacement cost coverage for parts
However, Progressive doesn't offer rental reimbursement coverage. If your motorcycle is your main vehicle and you can't afford to rent another one if yours is damaged, Dairyland may be a better choice.
Progressive customers are typically happy with its customer service. The company gets about 31% fewer complaints than average insurance companies its size. This means you'll likely have an easier time making changes to your policy, asking questions about your bill or filing a claim.
Best for daily riders: Dairyland

Editor's rating

Cost: $15/month
Dairyland has the best motorcycle insurance if you rely on your motorcycle to get to work or run errands. That's because it offers both rental reimbursement coverage and roadside assistance.
- Rental reimbursement helps pay for a rental car while your motorcycle is in the shop after an accident.
- Roadside assistance pays for emergency services if your bike breaks down on the side of the road. At Dairyland, this includes 24/7 towing, fuel, oil and fluid delivery, a jump start, flat tire replacement or locksmith services.
If you can afford a rental vehicle after a crash, you're probably better off choosing Progressive.
That's because Dairyland doesn't have great customer service in Kansas. It gets 49% more complaints than an average insurance company its size. Most complaints are about Dairyland's slow claims process, so it may take longer to fix your bike after an accident.
Best discounts: Harley-Davidson
-
Editor's rating
-
Cost: $22/month
Full coverage motorcycle insurance from Harley-Davidson costs $22 per month. While that's $3 per month less than the state average, it's $7 per month more than the cheapest companies.
However, Harley-Davidson offers lots of discounts to help lower your insurance bill. You can get a cheaper rate if you're a member of the Harley Owners Group (H.O.G.), you have more than one motorcycle or you don't have any accidents or tickets.
But Harley-Davidson doesn't sell auto, home or cheapest renters insurance. That means you can't get a discount for bundling your auto or renters insurance. If you prefer to keep all your insurance policies with one company, Harley-Davidson isn't a good option.
Harley also has good coverage add-ons to upgrade your protection. For an extra fee, you can add rental reimbursement, which pays to rent a bike if yours is damaged, or extra coverage for safety apparel like armored jackets, among other things.
Kansas motorcycle insurance cost by city
Multiple cities — including Wichita, Overland Park and Shawnee — have the highest rates for motorcycle insurance among Kansas' larger cities.

Typically, larger cities have higher rates since it's more likely that you'll get into an accident in those areas.
