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 (
