I bought a new 2005 Soft Tail Standard in 2005 and purchased Progressive Ins. I paid about $285 per yr. with $250 deductible. Because of an umbrella policy I have to max out the coverage and have to pay a little more. This week decided to trade up to a new 2015 Street Glide Special. Called Progressive and told them of and change which would take place in a couple of days. They said no problem that I have a 30 day grace period but they would give me a quote on the new bike. $859 per year!!!!! I live in Iowa so only ride about 7 months of the year. Couldn't believe it was correct and there had to be a mistake. Perfect driving record, no claims, great credit etc. Called my insurance guy who said he would check rates when he returned from vacation in a couple of days. Mean while I happen to find a web site with a free quote from Geico. $321 for a year. Figured that was more like it. The more I thought about Progressive, I figured they had to have made a mistake. Called back and talked to 2 difference people who came up with the same $859 price. Today my insurance guy returned home from vacation and priced insurance with West Bend. $165 for the year. Still can't figure out why there was such a large increase but happy with the new rate. Has anyone else had this happen to them?

 

Political statement removed by moderator. If you want to talk politics, go to the Political section.

 

That's how Progressive runs. They did the same to me. My premium almost doubled when it was time to renew. Same here, no claims, no tickets, ...
Said goodbye and went with Geico.

 

When I bought my Fireblade a few months back, I was quoted ~$850/year additional and was told it was because of the high performance and high theft experience in Florida. I went along with it, but the rest of my bikes are up for renewal in Jan/Feb 2016 and I may switch to another company...

Yes, I know what that "Political" statement that was removed was about, and that's just one more reason I wouldn't have a problem waving "bye-bye" to Progressive. I've heard that H-D insurance has left Progressive as an underwriter; anyone have any information on this?

 

I had the so called dis-appearing deductible. Once the deductible dis-appeared so did the good rate.

 

My progressive went from $320 last year to $540 this year. I called "Bull $hit" on the deal. Talked to my agent, she wrote a new policy with Progressive and changed the deductible from $125 to $250. It came in at $245 for the year.

 

3rd year in a row, and I had little to no increase.

 

Mine went down in April and I have been with them awhile.

 

Harley Davidson Insurance is still underwritten by Progressive.

 

I have Allied Insurance on my 2015 Road King and I pay $480 a year. Who has the best rates for riders. I don't have anything on my record. And the company I go through has given me great rates on my car truck and house.
