Right now I pay $350 per year for my Ninjette.

For a 2008 Honda CBR600RR my quote was $1300...

Looks like I'm going to have to wait a year...

I looked up like 5 bikes I'm considering for next year, and I found the Honda CBR 6's to be the cheapest insurance of the major 4 SS's. However, still more than a normal 'sport bike' model, like the 650R/SV650/FZR6.

Anyway $1300 yr doesn't sound to bad honestly, for that bike.
Options like MSF cert being faxed in may lower that too.

Just redid my insurance quotes and was under 750 (through rider with collision and comprehensive) which I find hard to believe I'd actually get that price since when I actually called for quotes it was double that.

At my ins. broker I got to look at the list and how the rates go up by bike cc and style.
There was a few mistakes on there with regards to classification so you may want to have a look at the list before you buy.

According to the list I saw, my ninja is not a sport bike and either is the new Aprilia Track only bike, at 130 HP :eek::eek:!!!
If that's not corrected by the time I buy a track bike, that's where I'm going :D

geez, how old are you guys?

2011 Suzuki GSXR600- State farm quoted me at 379/year full coverage, $500 dollar deduc.

2009 ZX6R- State farm quoted me at 320/year full coverage, $500 dollar deduc.

I currently pay 132/year full coverage on the 250.

Given, my driving record is immaculate, and im 26yrsold.

Must be some tickets combined with young age or just poor insurance shiopping.

I paid $74/yr with $100 deductable on the N250.

Currently pay $538/yr, same deductable, for the RVT1000r. No matter how hard I tried to convince them otherwise there is no hiding or confusing what type of bike the RC is:D

This is through progressive.

Under 25, single, no tickets/accidents. I have Collision/Comprehensive/Liability(10k/25k/50k).

Geico and Progressive both quoted me $1000 for my 250 for just liability alone.

NJ insurance rates are pretty awful.

I was an old fan of the RC45 with Bostrom on it back in 98. When Colin whopped up on the WBSK in 00 with the RC51 I knew I had to have one someday. 02 rolled around and both Edwards (WSBK) and Nicky (AMA) championed up on the RC...yeah, let's just say my RC fate was sealed, lol.

Idk why but among big4 600cc, the quote for Zx6r is always the lowest ($600/year), the other 3 are the same $1000/year. Surprisingly, if I can afford a Duc 1098, it will only cost me $700/year. I really have no idea where insurance companies get those number from ?

I still think you should shop around. There are many providers out there.

How old are you if I may ask?

Also check out the average motorcycle insurance rates (http://www.quotes-center.com/average-motorcycle-insurance-rates) to see based on your age if you are in the right range.

OK - but I'm less concerned about me knowing than I am about you knowing. Cheap insurance can sometimes be just that, cheap. There is no universal standard of "full coverage" that is exactly the right amount for everybody. The state minimums of 15k/30k are a joke, and will be exhausted quickly if the injured party has any moderate injuries, and suddenly the rest of the assets you own (and future earnings) become fair game.
