FZ8 Insurance Going Up

[Vikingminn]

Called Rider's Insurance just now to get a quote for my bike I am picking up this Saturday. Got a quote and hung up. A few minutes later she called back and told me the FZ8 is going to be reclassified soon as a sport bike and that the premium will probably double or more when I renew. I'm not happy.

That is very interesting, I'm through Geico, and paying 560 a year, I picked up my machine last Wednesday, and paid my policy in full.

360$ for the year

Nice, I'm a new rider (my first bike) so hopefully it will come down after a while. I do have full coverage on mine.

I was quoted $375 for the year. When she called back I asked her to put a sport bike in and see the price. She entered a Suzuki 750 (not sure of the exact model). It came to $745.

Liability is 700 a year cheapest I could get

Do you have a DUI or something? 700 a year for liability seems unreal! Yeah I thought since it didn't have a fairing it would not be a "sportbike" oh wells.

It's considered a sport standard, no duis. One speeding ticket from two years ago. I have a cdl and a m endorsement. I'm 24 that's the issue

24 is an issue wait till you are 25. Also go take the MSF course that will save you a decent chunk. My quote went from 750 to 560 by taking a $160 course. I know I learned a few things from it.

You can change your policy anytime you want. If you find a cheaper quote just call your company and tell them you are switching and they will mail you the check back for what is left.

None of you should complain. Haha. I paid a little over $3K a year for full coverage, and got quoted around $1.3K for liability. Progressive was the only one that would insure me. No tickets, 17 Years old then.

it's still cheaper than putting gas in my truck all summer.

I've had it a month and I'm 3 months ahead on payments
