Hey guys. That's my '03 R6 up there. Just thought I'd let you know about my insurance rates. I'm 29, married with a baby girl, and I have 2 cars, my bike, our house, and my life insurance through State Farm, which helps. However, when I insured the bike last year I didn't have 2 cars, life insurance, or a baby, so they don't really figure in. I got quoted $2800 a year from Progressive, whom I promptly told to go **** themselves. I checked with State Farm and they quoted me $300 a year for the best coverage they offer and no deductible. I have 1 ticket on my record from 2 years ago (78 in a 55) an I've had one every couple of years or so for the same thing. Anyway, if you ask almost any sport bike rider, they'll tell you that State Farm is the best for rates, but they don't screw around. If you get nailed more than a couple of times, you're out. Then you're looking at high risk which is going to be anywhere from $3000-$5000 a year. Might as well sell the bike at that point.

Chica with the '04: the first thing you need to do (after taking the class and getting your gear) is get rid of that ugly rear fender and put some smaller blinkers on, or maybe even integrate them like I did (www.vfxkits.com). If you're interested, check out the R6messagenet (http://pub114.ezboard.com/byamahar6messagenet) for a lot of really great info on your bike. I have the same username over there and we're always looking for new members (10,000 strong right now). Ride safe!

Yep, State Farm is the way to go! I have mine through there too. Like he said though, they will tolerate 2 tickets in 3 years, but after the 3rd you get booted.

Just out of curiosity is it true that the insurance fallows the driver and not the bike?


Cause if it fallows the bike, do I even have to worry about getting insurance since it's not my bike?

Bad ass I think I'm going to get a bike here next month.


Shaun with the supra is selling those pocket bikes for $450 I'm going to look into getting one in R6 blue. How funny would that be.

I'll be riding the pocket bike while Jenny rides the R6. :lol:

I hope you're kidding... Those are't built for cruising much less tooling around the neighborhood.

I wan't it just for tooling around the neighborhood or at Rock Falls or something.

I view like a goped or something.

Here's a link to what the pocket bikes look like:

I think we should all forget the go-ped races at the dsmshoot out and go with pocket bike races.

Id rather have a Yamaha YSR50 than a pocket bike.

They are older and are spendier though. They top out at 60mph though and are really just a small race bike. They do have proffesional races with them. :bowdown:
