when searching for my first bike I came across a 95 Honda vlx it is now 2019 and in the state of Texas the bike is considered and antique and does not need a safety inspection.
so the question came to me what insurance do older bikes who cost a few hundred dollars use?

personally I would go with something like the minimum of just liability and when a problem comes id just fix it when my two thumbs yanno.

I have Progressive. I have three older bikes insured with them, liability only. It costs me about $200 a year for all three.
Of course this will vary depending on where you live.
In New Jersey, a bike is a antique if it is over 25 years old.
Two of mine qualify. The newest one, my 99 Goldwing has five years to go to get my antique plates.

yeah I got quoted 77$ just for liability for the year.
oh man I saw that application for the antique plates I'm tempted how does the New Jersey antique plates look?

It looks just like any other plate, except that it begins with the letter "Q" for a bike, or "QQ" for a car.
And it says "Historic" at the bottom of the plate.
$77 sounds very good to me.

I also have Progressive for my vintage toys. Cost is = $20/mo per bike.

Is that liability only? Or comprehensive?
Seems rather expensive. That's $240 a year per bike!
And you have a lot of bikes!!
I'm paying $200 a year for all three of mine, not each.

Liability. Checked my policy, it's actually $15/mo. I don't keep all the bikes insured at once. I really only keep 1 or 2 insured at a time. Progressive allows me to change the covered bikes on the fly, which is helpful.

Of course, my rates largely suck because I'm young with a couple tickets from my dumber years.

I just turned 21 this year and haven't gotten a ticket yet, but shoot speeding on a bike is so different I purchased a bike today and I was going 5-10 over a majority of my ride home.

( 2018 september i forgot it was 2019 haha)
