Question Reasonable insurance rates?

Anyone know of a good source to check for insurance? I just did online quotes with Progressive and Markel and got about $100 a month from Progressive and $75 a month from Markel. Any others that are worth checking out?

You have probably already done this but be sure and check with your car or home insurer. Multiple policies can trigger significant discounts with some companies. Other than that I would probably just get as many quotes as you can by doing a web search or calling local agents. You never know which company will have rates that favor your particular bike and personal profile. Then research their service reviews. Good luck.

Stick with web quotes, then back them up with a phone call. Insurance varies drastically by state so by asking on here you're gonna get hundreds of different rates from all across the US.

Here's a good list to start from.

There's also
Dairyland,
Foremost
Nationwide
State Farm

When I sold bikes a few years back, the average insurance rate seemed to be about $600 per year. But age and location are everything.

I'm 59 out in the country and pay $330. ( Geico.)

I think you would have exhaustively checked for all the available options. Still, if you would have missed any option, you can get it from motorcycle insurance related forums.
