Man...I feel fortunate. I'm with Geico and I pay $229/year for my 2011 Harley and $57/year for my 2001 BMW 650GS...with really low deductibles.

Almost 2 years and the motorcycle I'm looking at is not a supersport but rather a sport touring.

He's financing a liter bike and under 25. Does not matter how much or little you are financing, it's still 1/2 the banks and they want to make sure their end is covered.
Price out a similar mc only under 1K. The 650's scream and figure you can save 1/2-2/3's the quote you have now.

"when you're happy you enjoy the melody but, when you're broken you understand the lyrics".
Cool. Sounds like you got a good start.
I remember the days on the sport bike forums, 18 year old kids buy the new hottest 1000cc sport bike as his starter. Seems like we have some better heads on shoulders around here.
Good luck on the insurance. What kind of a bike?
At $6k a year I would be trying to avoid financing. A $12-13k bike (big four Japanese bikes) at $6k a year to insure... Man. I'd grab liability and save that $6k. You are basically betting on yourself not to total the bike in the first year and a half (depreciation). New GS, or an Italian varietal will be more expensive to replace, and offsets this argument.
I ALWAYS get uninsured underinsured coverage on my bikes too. Just in case someone puts me in the hospital without any insurance or money to pay for it.

You Harley guys. Always thinking that a 120ci should be compared to a 1000cc SS.![]()

Rule #1) NEVER, F'ING EVER, FINANCE A MOTORCYCLE
That said I have Progressive. For my 1200 and 900 I pay a total of $76.00 a year for full coverage.
What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?
