I think you are nuts for being ok with 1K-2K. But I don't know how the insurance compares up there to down here, same or not.

Definitely check around and compare apples to apples. You might also ask how they rate the bike, some places look at retail value, some look at displacement, some look if it has GSXR, Ninja, etc. All goes into consideration as well as credit, down here.

Good Luck

1ki is about the average here. 2k, like i said, I can live with.

I dont know anyone who pays the low rates you do down there.

I've never paid less than 2000 on the bike. And they tried to jack my car rates to 4500, I dropped them like a hot potato.

Don't you guys shop for insurance before going out and buying a bike? I would never pay 2000 for insurance on a bike, nor a car.

I had my 07 Honda 600rr for 3 years (this May) and I paid about a 100 bucks a year for liability (highest limits). My 09 Kawi is 130 a year and my 06 EX500 is 80. There is no way I'm giving insurance companies thousands of dollars a year.

Nope. Just took the first quote that was offered..

Of course I did, and obviously 2000 was an acceptable amount or I wouldn't have bought the bike.

The even stranger thing is MC theft is almost non existent around here, and there arent that many accidents claimed within 100 miles throughout a year.
