Default Bike question!!! Insurance!

Anyone work at an insurance place or can recommend bike insurance? Haha I am 17 but it is 2007 Suzuki GSX R600. I have looked around but the quotes have been through the roof.

Any company or compaines that have reasonable rates.

Thanks,
Taylor

your going to have liability only. No one will insure you with full coverage.

Make sure mom/dad are still covering you under their health insurance policy.

LOL.. your joking right.. just like it was stated before, NO ONE will cover you full coverage for under 7000K.. now liability, you could get something for around 2K a year..

i hope you have a company soon.. riding is a BLAST, be safe..

its about +$800 a month (maybe more) for liability insurance your age - keep in mind you must OWN (pay off) the bike to have liability.

I go with Pacific Specialty Insurance, super cheap I think I pay $110 for liability only a year.
Granted I am 23 and I am on a 1995 Kawasaki ZX7. But then again my record sucks

Depends on what bank is financing your bike. I bought my Busa brand new back in 03 and I have never had full coverage, just liability. I just paid off the bike a couple of months ago. Never had a problem with the bank.

Full coverage has averaged around 5k a year. Just the minimum for state will cost $500 a year or so. Haha ya i work down at the range behind Currie.

Wawanesa doesn't cover bikes... I have them for my car though soo cheap!!

If anyone is interested let me know and I can see what I can do for you.

no offense, but you shouldnt get a bike right now, wait until you are at least in your 20's

it will still be just as much fun, and you might you actually live to tell about it.
