Right, I agree. Going from a 600 to a 1000 is going to be a big enough jump, so before I decide definitively on one bike over another, I want to see what that next leap from 1000 to 1300 cc's will be.

The insurance on my blast was 156 a year for liability with Shelter ins, but all of my family's vehicles were on that plan. When I got the R1, only a few different companies in town would insure it at all, with one 26 in a 25 ticket on my record. The lowest price I could find was for 550 dollars a year for liability.

Yup, I was looking at $4k/year for the busa
$2800/year for a liter bike
$2K/year for a 750
and $295/year for my buell...

All the same coverage, full coverage, $500 deduct

hmmm, tough call.

Holy shit. I had heard that they were going to work out a deal on ins, but i didn't figure it would be that much.

That was subtle...

I never did get to ride them at Bike Week, but I have to say I wasn't wild about the Buell I DID ride.... (mind you, I'm aware the 1125 is a completely different animal though).

Oh I know there will be a jump. But i'm not worried about it. It won't be anything major. I'm sure it will be more then $20 a year, but not horrible by any stretch.

I'm with USAA old school, where all my coverage is through USAA direct. Not farmed out to Progressive or whoever they are using now.

I have full coverage on my truck, my R1, Nee's 6R, a $75k renters policy, and a seperate $5k policy on Nee's engagement ring. We pay alittle over $2100 per year for everything, for both of us. So we have room to work with if rates go up some
