Check out what my Insurance agent told me today

Dunno what it is. Dunno the theft rate of F4is but I imagine its up there since they make great stunt bikes. Had a guy stop on the road while I was washing mine to check that it wasn't his.
Your bikes are definitely affecting the cost too, Trout. Multi-vehicle discount plus the KBB value of those bikes are prolly making a difference. And yeah, you live out where theft is discouraged via caliber

And so long as they pay out, I'm patient. Gives me time to look for a replacement

State Farm, two bikes (plus car and renter's) full coverage is $55 a month.
She sounds kind of ignorant when it comes to insurance rates for bikes. Sport bikes are expensive for one reason: they are expensive to repair. And with the unfortunate nature of motorcycles, when you file a claim, you're usually gonna need to replace a bunch of stuff. When a brand new OEM fairing costs $3-500, that kind of stuff adds up.

My insurance for the F3 was fine, until someone in the business decided we should be classified as "Sports". It's the same here though, statistically it's the young guys/gals that are having more stacks, not just with bikes, but cars, sure you are probably a good rider, but it's the bone heads that are making you get the raw deal. But it does pay to shop around. Besides, when you get to be an old fart (like me) the insurance premiums go down dramatically. I pay $272.72 (Aus) a year comprehensive agreed value

I have State Farm, and I was deciding between getting a Kawasaki 650R vs a F4i.
The 650R because it was May already and I was desperate to get back on 2 wheels after a two year break... first child and all.
My agent said the 650R is more expensive to insure because it has more cc and hence more powerful.
I tried explaining to them that the 650R has ~72 HP vs the F4i's ~92HP but apparently that's State Farm's policy!!
I'm glad the 650R got sold to someone else and I got the F4i.

I also have State Farm. Since they apparently go by engine size I told them it was 999cc (according to the specs) on my 1000RR. I'm paying $470/yr for full coverage.
