Yes, as with any bike. However the consequences of such mistakes are multiplied significantly on a more powerful bike...

NOT with ANY bike. thats like comparing a pinto to a ferrari.....lol....they will never get it.

u wont get it cheaper if your under 25
I'm under 25 (22 actually) and I'm paying $72 bucks a month for full coverage 250/250 comprehensive (state farm).

IF THERE IS ANYONE OUT THERE PAYING MORE THAN $150.00/MONTH FOR MOTORCYCLE INSURANCE ON A 600RR, YOU'RE GETTING BENT OVER!

Progressive quoted me $6500/year - YEAH RIGHT!
Gieko wanted more than $4500/year - TOO BAD!

......These are classic "we're insurance companies, so were going to bend you over and give it to you dry" type of prices - SHOP AROUND.

Now, granted you don't have 15 tickets and 6 accidents in 1 year on your record, you should expect pricing in the $60-$150/month range MAX.

Rates depend hevilly on the individule, his/her history, location, neigborhood, how many veichles they own, how long they've been without insurance, credit rating, age, sex, familly records, yearly income, crimianl records, etc etc etc...

so it's not all the same to all people everywhere. in downtown LA, or Milwaukee, i'd say that a damn fine rate!

I think some people on here have small man syndrom. Anyways, If you finance under 10k with Honda, no insurance is required at purchase. With credit card, no insurance is required. I say, if its what you want and you KNOW you have the responsibility, then go for it. Full coverage is insane from some places and not to bad from others, it all depends on where you live. My father is a K-9 Police officer, 50years old, and a motorcycle INSTRUCTOR, and his full coverage is still 200 a year, which may not sound like a lot, but with those credentials, it is. SO, just shop around. I am paying $60/month for lia/comp insurance from AllState. Good Luck
