street bike insurance

[bryonbush]

its funny you brought up the gs500 because i had an 04 that i had for a few years before i moved down. the insurance wasnt too bad for it thats why i kept it for so long.

I pay about $150/yr with Progressive. I'm 34 riding an '01 Yamaha FZ-1.

I closed my motorcycle insurance account at progressive due to liberal ties to soros and the ACLU. My money. I can spend it as I like thank you. I went with american lloyds underwriters for a buck less a year. I will check out state farm. Thanks guys.

Ps, my wife's triumph and my bmw eurotrash bikes are not cheap to insure but we sure do enjoy them.

+1 for Progressive. They have good rates and you can set it up online and see prices for each option.

I remember a few years ago an insurance guy told me the average time between a bran new GSX-R600 and a totaled bike was 90 days.

That happens because most newbies think they need to buy a Busa as a first bike instead of the Ninja 250, and the salesmen at the dealerships don't care if the buyer knows how to ride or not... it's all about the sale. There was a flyer at cyclegear recently for a fundraiser to help this kids family, he bought a R1 on a Thursday and died on it the following Tuesday. Sad, but it happens a lot.

I used to have a 03 cbr and was paying about 50 a month. I was also pretty young at 20. I think Progressive is hard to beat!

When I had my 04 harley I had my nationwide insurance agent on phone gave vin# yea mod make etc. they told me no problem they faxed me a copy of insurance paper I paid $187.00 a year for full coverage plus in coverage was $20k accidental death which allowed for no helmet. and I also had coverage for a passenger as well Nationwide has been very good to me everytime I purchase a differnt vehicle I just call they add it on no problems However I live near Waco, TX but my inusrance agent is in San Antonio but I do go there to meet them in person sometimes just to say hi when I roll through there. but I guess just shop around cause what is good for me may not be good for you. its like buying a gun heck I'll sell you ll kinds but if you dont like it you wont be comfortable with it.

Looking at my Motorcycle insurance paperwork right now. Comes due the 23rd of this month (Aug).
$210 a year for two motorcycle with full coverage, $250 detuctible, theft, road side assistance and all the trimmings on my KLR 650 and E900 Ducati.
But, I'm 60 years old and have been riding and insured with Progressive since the stone age!
Progressive has insured my bikes since they started insuring motorcycles.
Before them was Daryland!

Step son (30's YO) pays $1100 a year for full coverage for his GSXR 1000.

Helps to be old this time!

Progressive gives mad amounts of money to anti-gun causes.

I'm paying $31 month on a 98 Dyna Low and a 2004 Custom Bobber through Geico.

I can't believe no one has suggested Bikeline by now.

 

[TexasRedneck]

I can't believe no one has suggested Bikeline by now.

ummmm....check the 2nd post!

 

[Glockster69]

ummmm....check the 2nd post!

and the 13th, and the 18th.

I'm laughing so frickin' hard I can barely see the screen! And you responded in 2 min.

 

[TexasRedneck]

Just pure luck!

But bikeline ain't, IMO - I've been w/'em for like 13 years, and have never found anyone ta beat their service OR price.

looking at buying a motorcycle seeing that its been two years without one now. looking into a cbr600rr or similiar. a few years ago it was more than the bike payments were a month. what are you guys paying and who are you going through? just trying to get a ballpark figure before i call a place and flip out if its still high.

I have progressive on all of my bikes [2001 Honda rebel, 1995 Kawi Z6R, 2008 Kawi 250R] and I pay $76 each per year for liability insurance. I am a very safe and conscious cyclist. That and I paid less than $1000 for all three of them together [I work on motorcycles as a hobby]

 

[Rangerscott]

I'm with Allstate. Progressive was a joke with their quote on my clean record. With their liability only, I can get full coverage with allstate and still have some left over.

 

[mroper]

IS BIKELINE Called Markel now ? I first had Diaryland then went to progressive then Gieco now back to progressive through USAA. I will get a quote from Bikeline/markel.

 

[ZX9RCAM]

Good luck if you are under 25 & want a Sportbike.....I feel for you, except wish I was under 25 again!

 

[TexasRedneck]

Yep - Bikeline = Markel

 

[ROGER4314]

I just covered my Harley XL1200C with Progressive. I have 45+ years in the saddle so for full coverage, it was $227/year. They threw in roadside assistance and some accessory coverage, too.
