Default IM paying WAAAYY too much for bike insurance anybody got a hookup?

Im paying 125 a month for full coverage on the bike its a 2001 Honda CBR F4i market value ~4500 cost new ~7500 is there anyone in the Houston/Austin area that can get me a better deal on insurance. Im 19 almost 20 BTW. I have heard of many people paying like 50 bucks a month and they have bad driving records. I dont have ANYTHING on my record. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Im with AIG and only paying $450 a year full coverage. I hear some good things about state farm though might wanna check em out. If im not mistaken, you have to have your car covered there before they will even touch your bike but it doesnt hurt to call and get a quote. I know how insurance shopping for a bike can be

I switched my bikes to Geico. Paying half of what Progressive was charging. It pays to shop around.

Why don't you go pick up a few bike mags, sport and harley stuff and just call all of the insurance co. that advertise in them? Some companies only do bikes, so maybe they'd be able to help you out.


Just an idea. I've read through them before and it seems like there are 30 pages in them w/ just insurance ads

I don't know if you have given Ball insurance a call yet but they will find the least expensive option for you. Through progressive I paid $380 for a full year on a 1700cc Warrior of course I am 6 years older than you married and own a home so those things will make a difference. Anyways give them a call. 1-800-460-7114
