OldsBoomer Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Ok so i want to get a bike badly and can afford the payments on a 2012 gsx-600r but the insurance is insane its 4000+ a year and for a honda crb or yyamaha R6 its 3000+ a year the only street bike thats afforable insurance wise through nationwide is a ninja 650. What are everyones opinions or the ninja. Also do you think someone has better/cheaper motorcycle insurance? Thanks, John Quote Suburban Coming Soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
727Designs Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Foremost Insurance. ...You're welcome. Also, MSF class helps.

dkahns51 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I had progressive.. i want to say it was less then $300 for a year... I had a ninja 650. And if this is your first bike dont get a 600 you will die probably Quote **Clicky>>My 2009 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport Buildlog<<Clicky** I'm messing up 98% of the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldsBoomer Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 How old were you when you had your 600? And you think it'll be that bad for me? Quote Suburban Coming Soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifted_silverado Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 I had progressive.. i want to say it was less then $300 for a year... I had a ninja 650. And if this is your first bike dont get a 600 you will die probably Thats horseshit. Dont spread those lies. I know many people, myself included who started on bigger bikes and are fine. OP in florida we arent required to have insurance, i do know rates very place to place state to state. The MSF and BRC should def. lower the rate of any quote you recieve, i dont know what agent you spoke to but they dont sound very educated on the matter. Also on an R bike your rate will be higher, and the bigger the engine the bigger the rate. Just browse, what one brand insurance is good for someone isnt so great for the next Quote Everythings in the attic or garage since the truck was sold last year. New build should be coming soon in a dodge cummins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldsBoomer Posted April 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 YYea im deff looking into the MSF course and the ninja cheaper by far all around and im thinking ill be able to handel the 650. I feel no need to be stupid or drive real fast Quote Suburban Coming Soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nautical7 Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I'm one of those "start small and work your way up" kind of guys. I say start on a 250 so you can really learn on it then move up after you feel comfortable, but I'm not going to continue that argument here. And for a first bike, take the MSF and buy a used bike. You're going to drop it and dropping a brand new bike will suck a lot more than a used starter bike. Spend the money on quality gear also.
