Insurance won't be a big factor with us. We're with USAA and have been for many, many years. When I got rid of my 97 900RR and added my 05 R1, my semi annual premium went up a whole $20.

true but USAA goes by CC's so your 900RR and your R1 aren't that big a diff... going from a 600 to a 1300 would

Right, I agree. Going from a 600 to a 1000 is going to be a big enough jump, so before I decide definitively on one bike over another, I want to see what that next leap from 1000 to 1300 cc's will be.

The insurance on my blast was 156 a year for liability with Shelter ins, but all of my family's vehicles were on that plan. When I got the R1, only a few different companies in town would insure it at all, with one 26 in a 25 ticket on my record. The lowest price I could find was for 550 dollars a year for liability.

Yup, I was looking at $4k/year for the busa
$2800/year for a liter bike
$2K/year for a 750
and $295/year for my buell...

All the same coverage, full coverage, $500 deduct

hmmm, tough call.

Holy shit. I had heard that they were going to work out a deal on ins, but i didn't figure it would be that much.

Older with a cleaner record by chance? and more years with them/with a bike as well is my guess

I don't know if everywhere gets a great deal. I was with Dairyland/Sentry insurance already with the SV... they happen to be the "cheap" ones with the Buell as well.
