I thought insurance on motorcycles wasnt that high. I think down in Florida you dont even have to have insurance. Never see people in Florida wearing helmets or protective gear, crazy...

Damn...the wife won't let me get a bike. I get the "you'll get yourself killed" speech everytime I bring it up. Its not that big a deal because I couldn't afford one right now anyway...but time will tell.

Just tell her she can have anything she wants and call it even.

Oh ya, but for that to work you can't actually let her have anything she wants.

I have my o4 civic and a bike, thank god i have the bike cuz i haven't drove my car in over a month and a half, plus it gets good gas mileage, but my insurance doubled when i moved to AZ. Bike insurance in south dakota was bout 820.00 a year for full coverage for my sport bike, now that i'm here, insurance at it's cheapest ive found is $1,700 a year, on top of my car payment/bike payment/car insurance and bike insurance. It's expensive, but i'm going to be 25 in 1 more year so i'll be good to go than

who do you guy insure your civic's through and what you pay?

I'm with All-State, i have a clean record and driving history, the did a check of 5yrs back and saw nothing, so i got an extra discount. I pay $200.00 a month for my civic. Anyone have some recommendations to find it cheaper elsewhere? Like I said, 24yrs old, clean record, no tickets or accidents on file for past 5yrs, i qualify for discounts.

Who you guys insure through and how much ya pay?

as far as the insurance on the bikes...



the last bike that i had (1998 Suzuki TL1000R) was only $68.00/month with full coverage

that was because it was considered a 'crusier' because on the V-Twin motor
(this is something to consider, as well as, the friggin torque!!)

omg are you serious man? thats awesome - what company is that through? I was considering getting a newer bike with a v-twin engine, like an RC51 and yes a TL100R was also on the list of possiblities. I didn't know they considered it a cruiser cuz it was a v-twin. What insurance company was that with?

i dont know if they knew about sport-bikes being available in a V-Twin or not, so it might have changed since i last insured one

i was insured through AllState
