For some reason Progressive doesn't like Street Glides. I went from a 2012 Fat Bob to a 14 SGS and Progressive wanted more than double. Both have a 103 so no increased displacement effecting the rates. Switched to Geico and am paying a little less than I paid for the Fat Bob for the same coverage.

I was using Progressive for everything. When I bought my Limited they gave me a CRAZY high rate. No accidents, no claims, no tickets, and very high credit rating, but they still wanted over $900 a year!
My buddy who also lives in Florida (same zip code as me) was paying under $300 a year with Progressive but on an older bike. We are the same age with same history. I used the limits on his policy and had them re-quote it.
It only went down to just under $600 a year, still too much. I am still looking and getting prices but some companies won't just do a stand-alone on the bike, they want your car, or your home and cars on same policy.

You would think so but I went from a 2011 Street glide to a 2016 Road Glide with same engine but with linked brakes so a safer ride. Everything went up. Not just comp and collision. $200 a year more. My agent can't explain it either. New safer bike with same coverages and more money for everything.
I count at least 9 components to bike insurance:
Liability - bodily injury
Liability - property damage
Medical
Uninsured Motorist - bodily injury
Uninsured - property
Comprehensive including Theft
Collision (repair own bike)
Towing
Loss Of Income.
If you sell/trade from an old bike to a new one, same type,
the only portions that should go up are Collision and Comprehensive/Theft because the new bike will cost more to repair or replace. All the other parts should stay the same, right?
Liability - bodily injury
