Not in Florida on the West coast. I spend several hours on the phone going round and round. It's rated as a sport bike, and the least expensive insurance with minimal coverage was 700.00. But I am happy for those that can get it rated as a DS. I think this area has a problem with sport bikes though.stevepsd said:

Odd, I called the national Progressive number..twice. Price was so low the first time I was concerned. Both times they rated the bike as a dirt bike and set my full coverage at $89 per year. That was after 3 Progressive managers had a meeting about how to set it. I do have 4 bikes on the policy and have been with them for a long time so that has something to do with the price. But also totalled a bike a few months ago, so would have expecte the discount to have been offset.motocephalic said:
thats exactly what I did with geico, and they called back within 2 hours and said, it was a "sport bike" not a "touring bike" according to them. rate went up by 400.00klebs01 said:
maybe in VA, but not here. I had insurance with them 25 years, and not once collected on it. I dropped them after that arguing about their rating...Dirt_Dad said:
I've got 35 years on road bikes, my wife has 10 years riding, 30 years as a passenger, no acccidents. Maybe I'm crazy but that should count for something.Checkswrecks said:
And the insurer is...?justbob said:
well whats the total for the tenere? maybe I live in the wrong state... yeah thats it, we ride year long herejustbob said:
Actually, that does have a bearing on rates. In Colorado, the shorter riding season is factored in for our rates. Not sure how they do it, since our weather can be quite nice some winters too.motocephalic said:
This is for four bikes? Since I own a lot of bikes, I've always been interested in a policy that takes into account that I can't ride more than one at a time and would insure them as a lot, but I've never had much luck finding such a policy. The rates I have with State Farm are similar and they've always done well by me, but I get nicked for every bike the same.justbob said:
Not questioning you Bob but I would like to see a text (legal) copy of that policy. If it worked in California I would leave AMIG (through AAA) in a heartbeat. My KLR is more than your three and the Super Tenere is $500.justbob said:
That price sounds good to me. Once you get into three bikes the add-ons are inexpensive. I had three not long ago and when I sold one the policy changed about $50. Dropped the second one and the policy changed almost $300. The Tenere made it increase a bunch and I am asking for a comparison.justbob said:
