For the people who upgraded, show your SH replacement.

I pay 45$ a month for the R1 and that includes comp, collision and medical, basically a full coverage plan. But I am about to drop the medical since I just got medical insurrance thru my wife and my payment should be around 30$ a month.

azzkiker: Nice bike!! What year is it and what kind of undertail is that
Iazn: who's your insurance company? so they work with people who have a few "Youthful Indiscretions" on their driving record?

cc's enter in to it but when I was shopping for a new ride back in '04/'05 some of the bikes I was looking at like the V-Max 1200cc was a lot cheaper than the SH, 919 and VFR I was considering in NY for me (35 yo ) with a good record... I'm sure it varies from state to state, bike model, rider age company, etc... all enter into the cost.

I know with State Farm in Oregon, it's more than CC's that matters. Muuuuuuch more. To insure an R1 with them here is going to cost an arm and a leg, because half the motorcycling population has one and thus there are more wrecks and insurance claims. I pay $40/year (yes, year) for my 'hawk with full coverage, mostly because there just aren't that many of them, so not many insurance claims.
I think, in the end, it's more of an insurance company decision and how they want to look at a bike, whether based off of CC's, actual statistics, or a bunch of other things. Definetly something to shop around and ask lots of questions for.

Just curious if anyone has any experience with a TL1000R - I pulled the money out of the bank this weekend, but it just wan't as clean as the guy said it was. I wouldn't get rid of the SH, but what the hell, it might be fun to have both.
I use Progressive Ins and have no issues. I added a 2003 twincam softail to my SuperHawk policy and the annual premium went up by a mere $59.00

If I was willing to spend the money to purchase, insure and maintain two or three more late model bikes, one of them would be an I-4 SS literbike for sure. But I wouldn't trade my VTR for one.
There's no one bike I'd rather have than the VTR. The fact that I was able to buy mine new for barely half the price of a new R1, 10R etc. is just icing on the cake.
