08 BUSA Insurance
« on: July 14, 2008, 09:07:55 PM »
 I am 57 years old and been riding bikes since I was 12 so I have a little experience, no tickets or any accidents. I go and try out a couple of Hayabusas today and am pretty sure I am going to up grade my 05 FJR to a new 08 BUSA. So I get home this afternoon and call my insurance agent to check on the difference in insurance cost, well I got a little bit of a surprice. I know the BUSA is a lot quicker and faster than the FJR but.  Now I have good full coverage on the FJR at $195.00 a year. I new the BUSA was going to be more but not to the tune of $895.00 a year for the same coverage. That seems a little bit high to me considering everything and the amount of time we get to ride up here in northern Wisconsin. I have my insurance with Foremost now , I was wondering if there are any other insurance compamies that may have better rates on BUSA         SORRY I THINK I SHOULD OF PUT THIS IN BIKE TALK

State Farm has good rates when you carry other policies with them.  Mine is around $343 a year.

I switched to State Farm from Progressive at the beginning of this season on my 02 and saved a few hundred a year.

State Farm told me they did not carry crotch rockets any more down here in Louisiana. But this was about 2 years ago. I'll be checking with them again tomorrow, I currently have Geico..... not too bad.

The nice part about State Farm is that you don't need additional coverage for add-ons.Just keep all of your reciepts and they will cover it!!

Royally!!

I fork out about just under $1300 a year(because of a car accident-2 yrs ago). It was about $800ish. And that includes extra coverage for alot of aftermarket parts.

I learned first hand how much your rates change when you move.  My rates went from $400 a year with USAA in Dayton OH to just under $1k same coverage in Houston TX.  Progressive quoted me $7,200 in Ohio so I don't even want to know what it would be in Texas.  State Farm was cheaper on the BUSA with a quote for $800 a year in Houston.  Only problem is they wanted several hundred more for each of my vehicles so it wasn't worth switching...

I pay $670 a year with State Farm for full coverage on my '05 Busa and wife's '04 Katana. Down here in FL. my State Farm agent told me tickets don't matter until you have 3 or more. They base your rate on your credit score and type of bike.

It's all about your zip code as well.  To many idiots riding around without insurance or a license here for the rates to be cheap.  I guess I was lucky with how little I paid in Ohio all these years.  Now it's catching up with me... :(

I have State Farm as well and I think it is around $290/yr. 

Be careful with state farm, they are cheap for a reason, when I got my policy they told me right out there is NO personal injury protection.  They may be cheaper than others, but make sure you are making comparisons based on equal coverage.
