JonnyNashville Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 I am picking up a new bike tomorrow and I will need to insure very soon. Does anyone have a suggestion as to which company I should use? In the past I've used Progressive, but I think I can probably do better somewhere else. Thanks in advance for your replies.

Crash1647545504 Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 in aug the rates across the borad are going up due to no matter what cc it is they are going to be classified as sportbikes Yuuuuup I just transfered my insurance from a Ohio Farmers & Formost agent to a Colorado Agent. I WAS paying $375 a year for liability on a ZX-6R (only 1000cc and bigger was considered "supersport"). Now I am paying $1200 a year. No sitations, no speeding tickets tickets, nothing. When I asked why it went up so much when i switched agents, they told me that exact same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 if you have a clean record, then State Farm will be your best choice. They'll make you take a car over to them, but you'll save enough on the bike that it won't matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AutoFreak57 Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 yeah, i have state farm and no complaints. it's only $400 for 12 months for liability for my 95 ninja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkwind Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 For what it's worth, I got quotes from Geico and Progressive this year. Geico was significantly higher for one year of comp / collision, etc. on a 600cc Kat and an EX250. Progressive was around $550 for both (no other vehicles with them), and Geico was nearly $1k more. Unfortunately, my home owners & auto insurance provider (Hastings) doesn't offer motorcycle coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked and saw nothing concerning this and I haven't gotten a letter from my ins company yet. I have state farm and for my 06 I paid 272 for the year.

Jackson1647545504 Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 I have state farm and a super clean record ... I pay something like ~240 yr on the bike (2 auto + house + bike) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 if you're 25 or older with State Farm and have a clean record, your bike will be dirty-dirthole cheap. Especially if you're married and have other lines with them. Currently I pay $18/month for full coverage on the 636. Quite the change from when I bought it at 21.

kinkinhood Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 I know my SV recently got pulled from sportbike status and put into standard for Progressive, which meant a 300 dollar price drop a year for me. I run with comp and a high uninsured motorist policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwjeff Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 The Allstate at the corner of Galloway Rd, and Hall Rd insures my R1 and its only $36 a month... do a search for Allstate in Galloway... they hooked me up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinkinhood Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Personally I'd never trust allstate, though that's simply from the point that if you get any physical injury and you have to make a claim through them you have to get a lawyer and a court date cause they will fight you to skimp you on pay.

jeffmeden Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 State farm, multiline, and > 25y.o. FTW! Full coverage w/ $1000 deductible is only $190 a year for my '05 ZZR-600 (dull colored ninja). As a bonus, State farm bounced back nicely from Katrina and actually paid out divs this year! I can't remember the last time I got a div check but I think it was somewhere around 1999. I got $30 back from my bike policy alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
