For the SR I just checked the progressive website, with various discounts and playing around with the options I got $290 for a year. This is comprehensive coverage with a $1000 deductible ($100K/$300K/$50K) in Missouri
As it is, I'm paying $400 per motorcycle on a 2012 V-Strom and 2013 Zero DS through Progressive.Nobody's mentioned State Farm yet, so here's another Seattle-area data point. Includes discounts for other insurance I have with them, so YMMV.
2007 Suzuki C50T | 2012 Current Motor Super Scooter | Coverage |
$67.17 | $28.97 | Liability - Bodily Injury / Property Damage ($250,000 each person / $500,000 each accident / $100,000 each accident) |
$18.56 | $22.71 | Comprehensive Deductible ($500 Suzuki, $100 Current Motor) |
$86.97 | $63.55 | Collision Deductible ($500) |
$191.88 | $191.88 | Underinsured Motor Vehicle - Bodily Injury ($250,000 each person / $500,000 each accident) |
$4.18 | $4.18 | Underinsured Motor Vehicle - Property Damage ($100,000) |
$368.76 | $311.29 | Total Premium, per annum |
Progressive's initial rate is designed to be lower... I found that each renewal brings a rate increase just below what one's tolerance to cancel. I think they use demo-graphical modelling. I tolerated it for about 2 years.Yes, Progressive did that to me, which is why I moved to GEICO. I might end up bouncing between Progressive and other companies at each renewal. At the moment, I'm back with them.
That's weird. State Farm insured my SR right away with no issues for about $300 per year with max coverage. They better have, with my business and family I have 9 vehicles with State Farm and I have been with them for years.
State Farm refused to insure the Zero, saying they only do mass-produced bikes, not custom
