Define high. Insurance on my 2002 R6 is 365 a YEAR. Full coverage, 50 comp, 250 collision.
a gsxr 750 would have been ~500 and a gsxr1000 would only have been 616.
whereas insurance on the formula is 585 / 6 months.
gotta go with state farm and have a clean record.

My BMW R1200C is only 400 a year. Trans Am was about 1800 a year, now my Trans Am and the 99 Silverado I just picked up is about 1600 a year. Go figure!

When I had my 2000 Honda CBR F4 it was only 260 a year! And no I'm not lying. I was only 18 and it was in my name too. Full coverage.
