You can own a motorcycle and be the primary person on the motorcycle insurance policy without a license.

It&#8217;s illegal to drive without a license, even if the vehicle is insured. Yet, there are various reasons why someone without a valid motorcycle driver&#8217;s license is the legal owner of the bike. A few examples of why someone may do this include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your status as an unlicensed driver isn&#8217;t permanent<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a classic motorcycle that won&#8217;t be driven<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your teenager drives it, and they&#8217;re under 18<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.topgear.com.ph\/columns\/wheels-of-justice\/motorcycle-registration-ownership-a2595-20190521\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Someone else drives your motorcycle<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You bought the bike as a gift for someone<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Motorcycle Insurance Through Pronto Insurance\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any time a vehicle is being driven on the road, it&#8217;s necessary to have <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prontoinsurance.com\/blog\/price-of-motorcycle-insurance-in-california\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">motorcycle insurance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to stay on the right side of the law. It&#8217;s important, though, to point out that some auto insurance companies may be wary of insuring customers without a license.
