Default Motorcycle Insurance

My insurance will be expired in December. I currently have full coverage with
$100k each person,
$300k per accident,
$50k property damage,
PIP $10k for a year will cost me $700. Does this sound right for the bike in sig and good driving record?

Sounds very good to me especially since you can ride all year round. Keep in mind however, that I live in New Jersey....................

Ihave to double check, but am nearlt positive my Progressive policy has the exact same coverage and I pay about $250 a year. Yours sounds kinda high.

I am overinsured and have all kinds of benefits if I die as well as if I hurt someone, so your coverage seems good.

My Progressivepolicy is $520 a year and I haven't had a violation in 25 years. What state you reside in affects your cost as well.

It looks like I will have to wait on a quote from the Heartford due to the ciaos going on out west. They have their hands full at the moment. You would think with over 30 years on 2 wheels they could gimme a break!For many years I refrainded from having insurance at all with the old custom...

I pay about $490/yr in GA with very similar coverage, through US Insurance, on my '03 FXSTD, and I have one 19mph over speeding ticket on my record. No, It wasn't on a bike.

I was told that Progressive is the cheapest for motorcycle insurance. I had State Farm for my truck, and my wife was with Progressive before we got married. After we got married, we checked to see which company was the cheapest, and Progressive was quite a bit cheaper. If I were you, I would get a quote from them. You can probably do better.
