An Oricon survey found that 42.4% of motorcycle insurance applications are now made online, the most common method. Third-party liability coverage exceeded 50% across every displacement class, and riders of 751-1000cc bikes had the highest rate at 71.2%, the only bracket to top 70%. The survey ran from August 22 to September 3, 2025, covering 956 people who had actually filed a claim.

From a market perspective, online applications passing 40% shows Japan's insurance distribution moving away from face-to-face dependence. Seeing 71.2% third-party liability coverage for large-displacement bikes is also interesting — the numbers cleanly confirm the obvious trend that risk awareness rises with vehicle value.

956 people feels like a small sample size. Want a bigger survey.

I'm in the camp that liability coverage should be mandatory regardless of displacement.

As someone picking insurance for the first time, this liability breakdown actually helps.

71% for 751-1000cc makes sense once you think about liability if you hit someone.

Over 50% for third-party liability is higher than I expected.

42% online applications feels a bit lower than I'd guess.
