Key takeaway: Harleys are often heavily customized and valuable, so accessory cover and total-loss terms matter. Harley-Davidson Insurance, underwritten by a member of the Sentry Insurance Group, offers bike replacement cost for new bikes, genuine H-D parts and discounts for H.O.G. members and Riding Academy graduates. Compare it with mainstream insurers such as Progressive, which include accessory cover and new-bike replacement too.
How we put this guide together: We used Harley-Davidson Insurance’s coverage and discount pages, Progressive’s coverage page and MoneyGeek’s 2026 cost data. Prices vary by state, bike and rider; figures were checked in October 2026. See our advertiser disclosure.

Insuring a Harley with another company

Mainstream insurers also suit Harley owners:

  • Progressive includes $3,000 of accessory cover with full coverage (up to $30,000 available) and pays full MSRP, minus the deductible, for eligible new bikes after a total loss.
  • Dairyland offers optional equipment cover, OEM parts and replacement cost on bikes two model years old or newer.
  • GEICO offers multi-bike, mature rider and safety course discounts.

See our insurer comparison.

Touring and long-distance riding

Many Harley owners ride long distances, so roadside assistance and trip interruption cover are worth checking. Progressive, for example, pays up to $500 for trip interruption if your bike breaks down far from home, and Dairyland offers trip interruption for breakdowns more than 100 miles from home. If you carry a passenger, confirm guest passenger liability and medical payments limits. For riding gear and items in your saddlebags, ask about carried contents cover.

What to compare

  1. Accessory limits: list chrome, pipes, seats, bags and paint with receipts.
  2. Total-loss terms: replacement cost, MSRP or actual cash value.
  3. Parts: genuine H-D or OEM parts versus aftermarket.
  4. Passenger cover if you ride two-up.
  5. Price after all discounts; touring bikes with costly accessories are pricier to insure. See average costs.

Older Harleys (25 years or more) may be better suited to classic motorcycle insurance with agreed value.
