i am looking into buying a bike, but people have always said the insurance would kill me... had a buddy that said he bought a a honda shadow instead of a crotch rocket cuz insrance was ridiculusly cheaper.... is there any loophole- or any really cheap insurance company you guys use? i really want a 600 crotch rocket... and dont really wanna settle for a cruiser.... i'm an 18yr old college student lookin for something cool. any help and advice is appreciated!!!!!

dont get a cruiser. get a f41 for your first bike great starter bike and when your all growed up get a gixxer... welcome.

let the finger pointing begin...

it all depends where you live..check out the nov. issue of Super Streetbike Mag (theres a story in there about insurance). But yeah, I pay 500 canadian dollars for nine months on my bike, but I live in a small farming town in Southern Alberta (as in Canada). Not as many bikes around here to jack up our rates as there are in, say, NYC or SoCal. And I have no idea what its like in Rochester (if thats where your living)

I'v never herd of an "F41" but my 01' F4i is way faster than my 99' SRAD 600. So go easy on the honda's man.

^ Word, this guys F4i isn't lagging behind my Gixxer 6 too much...so not sure where the "Grow Up" comes from... In fact, F4i's are pretty damn good stunt bikes.

And for the thread starter, my insurance on my 2001 GSX-R 600 is 21 dollars a month for full coverage. Basically, if you drive like a clown and have tons of tickets, yes, you will die when you hear the insurance amount. If you've managed to stay relatively legal, you should be fine.

i agree

my lil bro's 99 gsxr 600 is not even a comparison to my f4i, and they are decent stunters too...typical honda good for everything

oh ya, im insured with country companies, ever since i was 16, got my first bike at 20( 94 cbr f2), cost was only $25 a month, now my f4i is $32 a month, full coverage on both.. best thing you can do is get with a major insurer for all of your insurance needs, and stay with them(not getting many tickets or claims helps too).. sooner or latter your rates will drop low ( i only pay $145/month for house,truck,bike&life coverage)

I just picked up a 04 gixxer as my first bike... its freakin tight... my insurance is $541 per year, which makes it like $45 bucks a month...I don't know how, but my advice is to you is to shop around and you will find a good deal
