Generally the insurer has more freedom to set the pricing of your insurance quote based on coverage of physical damage rather than on mandatory liabilities.

When premiums are not mandated by the government, insurance companies generally derive premiums based on statistical data, the motorbike’s color, its mileage and/or resale value, monthly income of policy holder, personal consumer report of policy holder which includes but is not limited to age, marital status, experience and history of accidents.
