be sure and check for exclusion stuff - many of them now say that you're not covered if you ride over 500 miles in one 24 hour period, riding over 16 hours in a 24 hour period and other such nonsense. lots of wording to exclude track accidents, racing (that one seems obvious to me but...), exclusions for using a radar detector, and other scenarios you wouldn't expect. Be sure to read the WHOLE policy.

Only up to $1000?? Can you get a rider for more? (my last helmet was $700 - that leaves almost nothing for boots, gloves, jacket, pants)

Good luck - be sure and report back what you find out :)

remember accesories are things like slip ons (or full systems), GPS, anything aftermarket that you have on your bike.

I shook State Farm down to cover whatever gear I was wearing at the time of an accident with no $$ limit. There is a letter in my file that specifically states that.

Hell, 1k wouldn't even replace my Aerostich. Let's not even talk about the helmet, gloves, or boots.

I've had insurance with State Farm since about 92, they don't like it if you have 3 totaled bikes within 5 years. they want to drop you. my agent went to bat for me and they didn't drop me, I was within a couple months of the first one going past 5 years and dropping off so they didn't drop me.

Farmers.

I have medical and liability only (comprehensive is too damn expensive - I just put the money away so if anything happens to the bike I'll just buy another one). Costs me about $100 per year.

i also have Farmer's. i'm happy with them. while i haven't had to file a claim, they had better rates than any other company (Geico, Progressive, etc - the big advertisers had crap rates for me) and i have a local agent who's very helpful. i have my car, bike, and renter's insurance with them.

Our home and everything in it, along with both cars, are insured through American Family.

My bike is insured through State Farm.

I have Nationwide and have for years. If I switched it would probably be to State Farm.

If I didn't own the bikes I may go to Amica or Erie Insurance....they gave me the lowest quotes on everything EXCEPT for the bikes.

We have our home plus a townhome that we own and we rent out...3 vehicles..two bikes and a boat plus some of my wife's jewelry insured so switching is a bit of a pain.

USAA FTW! I don't have insurance through them yet. Jarv and I were considering doing it this time around but since the car is registered to him and we're not married, we can't sign up unless we transferred everything over to me (I have access b/c of my dad and grandfather. Jarv would have to marry into my family to get the benefits of USAA).

But anyways, I bank through them and they're always super friendly and helpful. Love it there.

I have dairy land for pretty much everything, house, cars, bikes etc. Im sure every situation is diffrent but I used to have progressive for my car and they were great.... until I called them to make a claim when my car was stolen, then they were HORRIBLE!!! long story short it took me 3 months to get my car back and they cut me a check for 3k which hardly put a dent in the damage that was done to my car. couldn't ever get a hold of my agent and constantly got the run around. Had to threaten to come up there with a baseball bat to get anywhere. Then they wanted me to pay for storage fees that had been racked up while it was at the tow yard! I thought they had it the whole time but apparently it was sitting in some shitty ass tow yard with a broken windshield getting rained on for 3 months.

I am jealous of all of you. I pay 400 a year for liability, which is still down 150 dollars from what I paid for it last year. Being a 20 year old on an R1 sucks. Even my Buell blast was 175 a year for liability. I go through Foremost insurance. Never had to file a claim, but a few of my friends say they have and its an easy process.

USAA does NOT insure motorcycles. They farm out to Progressive.

Get a honda rebel 250, your rates will go down :)

Even on a the blast, my insurance was higher than most of you over-25-ers pay for full coverage and I had liability.

Full coverage on my GSXR750 was $459/year. Just wait 15 more years, your insurance rates will be real cheap.

heard from state farm today and blew everyone else out of the water, great customer service, great rates and is going to work on lowing my interest rate of my bike loan only thing they will not cover any gear if i go down but she said something about i could make a claim through the renters insurance, but i dont know

That is one thing I can't wait for and that is my 25th birthday. With my painful driving record it will be nice to save a shit ton.

I use Allstate and have been quite happy with them. Instead of calling the company up I called a local person in Savannah, GA and he had the best prices. His customer service was excellent when I was involved in my wreck despite the fact that my company wasn't at fault he was very helpful in telling me who to call, what to do, and what was next.

I just added the bike with State Farm and WOW!....I got the bike, renters insurance and extra health and accident coverage for only 40 more a month...My total for Car, bike, renters and health (which will pay my co-pay for ER, surgeries, ect..) is less than a bill a month, and Dutch got a discount on HIS auto for being on the renters policy...he has full-coverage, so it helps. My car alone was 60 by itself, and the bike is only $350 a year and I'm a new rider. The MSF will drop it when I get it done, so I'm a happy camper.
