Define high. Insurance on my 2002 R6 is 365 a YEAR. Full coverage, 50 comp, 250 collision.

a gsxr 750 would have been ~500 and a gsxr1000 would only have been 616.

whereas insurance on the formula is 585 / 6 months.

gotta go with state farm and have a clean record.

My BMW R1200C is only 400 a year. Trans Am was about 1800 a year, now my Trans Am and the 99 Silverado I just picked up is about 1600 a year. Go figure!
