it just depends on who you ask. some people may tell you "you get what you pay for", while others will tell you "you're paying for the name". i'd just go w/ what you like, that is in you're price range. i have a Icon Mainframe now, at the time it was what was affordable and i liked the look. in a month or so im going to get myself the Suomy Cathedral!

 

well im pretty sure im gonna buy the bike unfortunatly and fortunatly i need a co signer cause i dont have "enough credit".. but thats cool i'll get a better interest rate anyway.. insurance is god aweful expensive... $1,116.00a year!!! i have to have full coverage though until my loans paid off... ghey.

 

wow, what insurance do you have? there is a lean on my bike so i have full coverage w/ state farm and im only paying $600 a year (im 22). well, as soon as you get the bike and begin riding you'll forget AAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL about that "unfortunately" part! have fun w/ you're new bike, and be safe!

congrats!

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ where are you from?

I would have a loan so even with 2,000 dollar deductables for Collision and Comprehensive.... and 50/100/50 i believe for bodily etc.. its over 1,000. You are 2 years older than me... what year is your bike?

 

state farm is the cheapest. mine is 900 a year with progressive full coverage

 

i live in MD. my bike is an '01. i did the $250 deductable and my insurance is around $50 a month full coverage and i have a lean on the bike.

well keep us up to date on the bike and dont forget pics! welcome to you're new addiction!

 

i dont get it... why is insurance so high is it just cause i live in CT? or is it because i have full coverage on an 06 and i'm 20?

 

as far as age.......cant help ya there. im sure it plays a role in how much you have to payb/c you're more at risk for accidents/injury. but i know when i went to get my insurance quote before getting the bike they told me that they (statefarm) dont go by the year, they go by how many cc's the machine has. so the '06 part may not matter, its the age and number of cc's i guess. just keep you're record clean, be patient and it'll drop. lol, think of it as something to look forward to!

 

i guess i got my quote through state farm they are the cheapest but if thats true about the cc's part... then i dont get it.. i may be 20 but i have a spotless driving record... not a single ticket EVER. lol... sucks bein me..

 

then im assuming its you're age. if you search on here there is a thread on what people pay for insurance. if you glance through that it may give you a better idea if you're age is whats got your insurance so high. and like i said.....it'll go down in due time. just gotta be patient. im looking forard to 25 so it'll drop again.
