However, there are several myths surrounding coverage that can make it seem like a policy is out of reach or make you feel like you shouldn&rsquo;t get a certain bike. For example, the often-repeated myth that policies for red bikes cost more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Does Color Matter?<\/h2>\n<p>No, the color of your bike does not impact your insurance. It doesn&rsquo;t matter whether your bike is red or black or purple; color isn&rsquo;t considered a risk factor. Instead, agencies typically consider factors such as your age, driving history, and other relevant details.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>When Color Does Matter<\/h2>\n<p>Although the color of your bike doesn&rsquo;t matter when it comes to paying for an insurance policy, that doesn&rsquo;t mean it&rsquo;s irrelevant. The color can play a role in accident probability because certain colors are less visible. For example, a black motorcycle is more difficult to see at night, thereby increasing the risk of an accident. Colors like yellow and green are more visible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Custom Paint and Insurance<\/h2>\n<p>Although the color of your paint job doesn&rsquo;t matter, you may want to speak with an insurance agent at Kerndt Brothers Insurance Agency if you have a custom paint job. Policies typically only cover a basic paint job, so you&rsquo;ll need additional coverage to fix the paint on your bike if you&rsquo;re in an accident.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Several things impact the cost of your policy, but the color of your bike isn&rsquo;t one of them. Our experienced agents will ask you questions to determine if you qualify for a discount, and we&rsquo;ll explain how everything impacts your policy so you know the facts.
