The short answer

Bodily injury liability covers others you injure, but many US motorcycle policies exclude passengers unless you add 'guest passenger liability.' Uninsured/underinsured motorist covers you and passengers if the at-fault driver is uninsured. MedPay pays passenger medical bills regardless of fault.

Frequently asked
