ridiculous insurance again - Ducati.ms

up for renewal. hyper $986.00 12 months, thruxton $149.00 12 months.
with $762.00 of the hyper cost as collison I don't see how the way the hyper is classified can make much difference. Is this the norm with you guys too?

I just paid $1174 for two Ducati for a year

I have not seen any you tube videos of Triumph Thruxton's doing 5th gear wheelies or backing into turns. I would bet there are a lot more hyper claims for property damage and bodily injury. The hyper is also over 1000cc's which causes a price spike in many insurance companies. I would go with $500 deductable on the hyper and call Geico.

Try 1,500.00 for the year in NYC for the hyper, full coverage and a 250 deductible. You guys seem to have it alot easier in other cites.

About $375 per year, full coverage, $500 deductible. State Farm.

Lots of variable in pricing insurance. It seems to me with multiple bikes, they price the new one high and you get a bigger discount on the others. At least that is how it seemed with Progressive. I don't think I am getting as good of a deal as some though since I am clocking in around $1200/yr with the Hyper for 100/50 and a $1K deductible. No tickets or claims. I blame a lot of it on the illegals and other dirt bags running around here with no insurance.

Out!

I pay $600 a year with full coverage. I have no idea why it is so cheap for me with part costs so high. My XR was $300 with the minimum. I'm 22 with 1 ticket and a otherwise clean record, suppose to cut in almost half in november when I reach 6 years of driving. I thought Mass had some of the highest insurance costs in the country.

I just picked up a KTM 950 SM and it added $126/yr to my insurance. I know its not a Duc, but its the same style and costs pretty much the same. I go through USAA and have Homeowners and other auto/motorcycles with them.

Before I bought the Hyper, I was considering the Speed Triple. When I checked the insurance the ST was almost twice as much.
