Up here, several insurance providers use a black list. Typically that black list says things like:

Ducati: all models

Kawasaki: Ninja all models

When I was trying to get insurance for my ER6n, a few years back, my insurer wouldn't cover it because they said they "don't cover sportbikes." They did say that they would keep covering my '00 VFR800, or a new one if I bought the latest version. Hmmmm...... so what is a sportier bike; A Kawi ER, or a Honda VFR?

This same company said that they would also not cover a Ninja 650R, but would cover a Versys 650. Brain. Damaged.
