So my buddy that got his newer gsxr 600 stolen a few weeks ago got a few grand back for the bike..big woop. he basically rented the bike for 1500 a year But regardless on to my point.. He has 3 speeding tickets on his record and was paying 120 a month for insurance before. We went out last week and he basically finalized buying an 09' cbr 1000rr. The BEST quote for insurance he got was 700 a month!!!!!!!! What a fvckin joke I mean we all know its a nasty fast bike, new and the probability of an accident on a bike is high but really 700....no one in their right mind would pay that So now he has the drive of shame to basically back out of his purchase and look for an older used bike because even an 09' 600rr is like 500+. Im not 100% familiar with bike insurance cause this will be my first year on my own bike but tickets must just make ur price skyrocket. Thankgod I have a great record
