when I had my sporty it was 120 a month pink slip just to ride a month then 400 for the year for everything else..the fxdb is gonna be more..B.C is exspensive to ride since icbc is government where other provinces is private insurance..the way we do it is bare bones government (icbc) then private insurance for the rest of the coverage

ICBC is the only insurance company here in BC, $15,000 insured value average $2000cad a year. We have to get third party through ICBC no other choice. I get basic insurance from ICBC $87/month, the rest through Beacon $430 a year. That's the cheapest way to go. I know americans are playing $300 a year, FML!
ICBC = Idiots Control British Columbia

it is all economy of scale. while we may pay more $$ up here we do not pay more % of income. everyone knows that BC income per job category is 4x that of the rest of the world. LOL
I feel better.
Basic liability about $1,000, then optional collision, theft extra $500
