Huge Progressive Increase!!!!
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?

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?
