What Is Classified As a Powersports Vehicle?  

A powersports vehicle is classified as a motorsport’s vehicle. Examples of powersports vehicles include:  

Motorcycles: The most popular powersports vehicle, it is the only kind that can be ridden on public roads. It is small and can be easily stored, unlike other vehicles that essentially take up another parking spot in your garage or driveway.  

Snowmobiles: This powersports vehicle can run in deep snow. Designed for trail riding, touring, or even work, they’re a staple ride for snowy regions. Switch out your dirt bikes and pull out your snowmobiles for cold-weather adventures.  

UTV/ATVs: A popular off-road powersports vehicle, this vehicle can be used on various types of terrain. There are two main types: sport and utility. Which one is best suited for you depends upon your needs.  

PWCs: This is the only powersports vehicle that runs on water. There are both sit-down and stand-up jet skis available on the market. This vehicle is perfect for your summer adventures on the water or year-round warm weather regions.  

Where Can Powersports Vehicles Be Used?  

Powersports vehicles are built for various types of scenarios and environments. If you’re looking to use a vehicle on the water, then a PWC is the perfect fit. If you’re looking to hit some snowy terrain, snowmobiles will do the trick. A vehicle for land leaves you with motorcycles or ATVs. It really depends on what you’re looking to use your vehicle for. Discuss your needs with your agent to determine which powersports vehicle is best for you.  

How Many Passengers Can I Have on a Powersports Vehicle?  

Your vehicle’s capacity will depend on the vehicle itself and your comfort level. Most powersports vehicles are for solo riding and potentially carrying some additional gear. The more weight on your ride, or the more passengers you have, the different type of riding experience you’ll have. You also have to ride much more carefully. Always check with the manufacturer’s recommended guidelines before having passengers on your vehicle.  

Where Can I Purchase A Powersports Vehicle?  

If you’re considering purchasing a powersports vehicle, you’re going to want to consider visiting a local dealership to start. The most well-known brands for powersports vehicles are:  
  • Yamaha
  • Honda
  • Suzuki
  • Kawasaki
  • Can-Am
  • Polaris
  • Arctic Cat
  • CFMoto
  • Kymco 
Prices will vary depending on vehicle type, location, brand and more, so be sure to discuss in detail with your vehicle salesman your budget and what you’re looking for.

Purchasing your first powersports vehicle can be simultaneously fun and stressful. It’s important to note that your typical auto insurance won’t be able to cover accidents that may occur on your new vehicle. After your purchase, be sure to contact Morehead Agency to speak with an agent about powersports insurance so you can head out on new adventures safely and with confidence.
