From their website:
"Overseas Visitors
Planning a visit to the United States? Want to ride your motorcycle during your visit? Let Fernet Insurance Brokers arrange for your temporary insurance needs before you even leave home! We offer a program designed to cover yourself and your cycle while you are visiting. Its the Safe Trip Motorcycle Insurance Program from Dairyland, one of the largest motorcycle insurance companies in America, rated A+ by A.M. Best.
And, the program even offers roadside assistance. Additional Information: Insuring visitors' motorcycles touring the USA and Canada is fairly straight forward, especially when the on-line form has been fully completed, and the authorized credit card is processed without difficulty. Please ensure that there is no hold on the credit card for charges by third parties from overseas.
Some visitors travel with the intention to purchase their motorcycle in the USA. Of course, we can only begin the insurance process after the motorcycle has been bought and a valid VIN [Vehicle Identification Number] is available in order to complete the insurance application. A temporary registration must then be obtained from the Department of Motor Vehicles [DMV] showing proof of insurance. There should be no problem if the motorcycle is purchased from a dealership as they handle the registration and provide you with the necessary temporary tag. However, it can be much more complicated if the motorcycle is purchased from a private owner. The difficulties vary from state-to-state and from DMV office-to-DMV office, depending on the clerk that you are dealing with."

From Nick A., Progressive Internet Representative, in an email to a British traveller wanting insurance for a months ride across the USA on his own UK registered bike:
"You would be able to purchase a policy with Progressive with either an international or foreign country’s driver’s license as long as there was a permanent address within the U.S. where mail could be sent and the vehicle would be kept.
There would be a surcharge for having a non-U.S. license, but that would be included in the quote prior to your completing it.
Unfortunately, we do not sell short term policies. Motorcycle policies are currently sold for 12 month terms."
So sadly not much use for travellers passing through. Reports say they're good for US residents.

ADAC, the German Automobile Association.
They sell Green Card Insurance (third party liability insurance only) on a monthly basis for foreign registered vehicles. Mr Jens Messerschmidt ADAC RVE Am Westpark-8 81373 Muenchen Tel.:+49 89 7676 2266
E-mail Jens at jens...@zentrale.adac.de
Note: Their website is in German only. For non-German speakers, contact Jens directly, who speaks English.
"The good news is that basic third party liability green card insurance for foreign registered motorcycles (called Grenzversicherung) is available through ADAC for 22 Euros a month. The bad news is that it is not available by post or email. You must show up in person or assign someone to go to an ADAC office with your original registration paperwork to apply and pay for it. This from Jens Messerschmidt at ADAC."

"We can offer third party liability insurance valid for all European countries for a minimum period of 2 months and a maximum period of 12 months, provided you are 25 years of age or older. At present the premium amounts to Euro 288.15 for a period of 2 months, and Euro 88.49 for every following month. However, we are aexpecting an increase in premiums per Oct.1, 2001 and of course we cannot predict what the premiums for the year 2002 will be. For drivers between 21-24 years of age there is a 25% surcharge to the premium. It is impossible at this moment to say if the far Eastern countries such as India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran can be included in the coverage. This will mainly depend on how the present political situation will develop. Perhaps you can contact us again towards the end of this year or 1-2 months prior to your departure to India for a definite offer."
