Default Insurance Question

Hey guys,

I've had a 2006 F4i for a couple years now with Geico but I am in the process of purchasing a used 2009 CBR 600RR from a dealership for a price of $6,899, lowered from $10K.

My concern and question is, after I sell my F4i and purchase the 600RR, will my insurance go higher because of the "new" bike or will the insurance on the 600RR be the same as if I had the F4i?

Thanks for the help!!!

I can't tell you from personal experience, but from what I've read here on CBRF those RR's look like $$ to your insurance agent I got a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE quote from Geico BTW. get a quote from State Farm, the only stipulation is you have to insure your cage with them as well

an f4i is what insurance considers a sport touring, when you step up to an rr, that turns into a sport bike. now if you have a clean driving record the difference should be min. but if you have a lot of stuff, its going to go up considerable.

Insurance companies see the RR and see $$. So expect a jump there. Then the bike is 3 years newer, so like anything else, that will cause it to go up a bit. Good luck and enjoy the bike...they are awesome.

I'm with progresive and since my bike is payed for and I'm 48 I only pay 81.00 a year but as a comparison the other leading insurance companys wanted 300.00+ a year. Most insurance companys go with a credit report which suck. Progressive still doesn't do that. Johnnyh

I am 33 and have a new rr. State Farm cost me $24 a month with a $500 deductible. I was pretty impressed....
