At minimum, which of the following should your motorcycle be equipped with?

A motorcycle must be equipped with essential lighting for both visibility and safety, particularly during low-light conditions. This includes a headlight, which allows you to see and be seen, a taillight that indicates your presence to vehicles behind you, and a brakelight that signals when you are slowing down or stopping. These components are crucial for safe operation on the road and are often mandated by law.

While side mirrors, windshields, saddlebags, and brakes are important for comfort, functionality, and control of the motorcycle, the combination of headlight, taillight, and brakelight is a fundamental requirement for safe riding. Without them, you significantly increase the risk of accidents due to decreased visibility for yourself and others on the road.
