This is absolutely false.

I'm 32 with a perfect record. Shopped around with 4 different companies. I have multiple discounts applied to my current policy (safe driver, homeowner, multi car, and alma mater) and still pay almost $900. The only way it would be less is if I didn't have full coverage or was riding an older bike. Location plays a huge factor in your insurance rates. I have a friend who lives closer to the city than I do and he pays $1200 for a similar setup.

Yeah I thought about that after I hit the send button. I am mobile right now so I can't see your profile but let me guess. You live in or near a big city in the N.E., or Chicago or Detroit

My better half and I spent a few days in Boston in June. Great place to visit. High insurance is just another reason to keep this southern boys home below the Mason Dixon.

Find a agent you can talk to and have them look at Progressive. Full coverage on my Road Glide with sr22 was almost $500 I added my Deuce,ATV, and golf cart and it dropped to $395. Wish I had more toys, could have dropped it even more.

Default Coupla things..

Few clarification from your forum insurance guy (I do this for a living)..
* Requesting a quote w/out your SSN - You'll get an artificially lower rate. As soon as they run your SSN, you'll get jacked.. Sooo your exercise will be futile


* Over 500.00 is too high - Not true.. It depends where you live and your bike... Even with a "clean " record...


Hope this helps...
