Blue-circle! I'm paying around 600 a year for FULL coverage with a $500 deductible on a 2012 Triumph Street Triple. It's about 300-400 less than other quotes I got, and that is with only having my license for less than a year (with motorcycle course with Too Cool).

I think I am paying too muck so for the amount I rode last year, I dropped the collision. I didnt want to but it was half the price. I still pay $640 for my 2000 HD Ultra just to get it on the road, so I would appreciate anyones advice on where to get a better rate as I would like to get the collision back on. Riding bikes with class 6 for about 30 years accident free and still get screwed. Maybe because of the 1499cc...not gonna tell about the BB kit in her now. Currently insured by some company out of Quebec through my broker.

LOL tell me aboout it!!! $2600 yearly there when I insured my scoot!!!!!!!!!!! BRUTAL[/QUOTE

With you paying that much I should feel better about my price, but don't. Maybe I just think its too much because I dont get enough miles on it. This year, the Oregon coast!

Heading out the start of Sept after schools are back in so traffic should be lighter and low season begins. 3 of us have committed so far and 1 more wants to, but open to anyone wanting to join. Going as far south to go over to Vegas then straight north home. Been talking about this trip for 3 + years so now gonna get it done.

I use Primmum for all of my stuff. Stumbled upon them trying to find insurance for my 999R Xerox Edition and they were the only company that would insure it. Now use them for everything and they have always been good to me.

Home for Chrome is reasonable. My 2009 FXDF costs just under $700/yr for full coverage. I also found out that some insurance companies don't actually cover accidents with wildlife without an add-on.
If you can stay under 5,000 km's a year and don't mind paying for an appraisal, Legends has to be one of the cheapest out there. You can't use your bike to regular commuting either. I ride to work whenever I can and don't feel like coming up with some plausible story if I got into an accident with their coverage so I went with Home for Chrome.
