Re: Motorcycle insurance

I heard you can only buy insurance yearly. Is that correct?

Re: Motorcycle insurance

You can pay for 12 months up front. Or pay each month but you will pay a little more then if you paid for the whole year up front. I plan on paying each month.

Re: Motorcycle insurance

With Allstate, I paid monthly on my ZX14. But they make you pay two months at a time for six months. Because it was so cheap anyway. $98/mo on that one.

Again with Allstate, I paid yearly on my R6. It was somewhere around $400-$500.

Never had any problems with them. But I didn't make any claims either. Didn't have medical coverage, just covered the bike.

Re: Motorcycle insurance

Who do you have for car insurance? Why not just go through them and possibly get a multi-line discount?

I've had State Farm for years and had them insure my motorcycle when I had it. I never had a claim on my motorcycle, but I had 2 claims with my other 2 cars. Never had an issue with their claims process.

Re: Motorcycle insurance

If your record is good, give State Farm a call. They may find some areas that will give you discounts on your combined insurances. Car, Bike, Home owners (or renters), Life insurance, etc.

My ex switched to them and they found all kinds of discounts for her. They offered her a small life insurance policy that would cost her $7 a month, but it knocked $20 a month off of her car insurance with the multi-line discount. Worth looking into if they want to bend you over that bad for motorcycle insurance.

Re: Motorcycle insurance

I just switched from progressive to state farm.

I'm 25 with one moving viloation with a 06 r1 and by switching to state farm im saving almost 100 a month with a smaller deductible and better coverage. Also ended up saving $20 a month on my scion with a lower deductible and way better coverage. Progressive said they just revised their motorcycle rates this spring so people with coverage through progressive I'd double check your rates, mine went up almost $30 a month
