In Minnesota, motorcycles are not considered "motor vehicles" when determining some legal rights and responsibilities. As a result, there are some differences in the legal rights of drivers and passengers of motorcycles involved in accidents compared to drivers and passengers of motor vehicles such as cars and trucks.  Examples of these differences include the lack of a requirement to have coverage for No-Fault (Personal Injury Protection), Uninsured Motorist, and Underinsured Motorist benefits under an insurance policy covering a motorcycle, and the lack of a requirement to meet a "tort threshold" when asserting an injury claim against those responsible for an accident.
