How much is motorcycle insurance for an 18 year old?

Hey. How much would it be to insure a motorcycle (something like a zx-6r or zx-7r) for an 18 year old with a clean driving record? Thanks!

If you can get insurance, expect to dish out 3 to 4,000 a year.

3-4K is a good rate, I know people who pay over 5K a year for liability.

I dont understand why its so much though...

You wont do much damage to anyone else (unless its a pedestrian or another motorcycle) when you crash a motorcycle. I think your medical insurance covers you if you are hurt and motorcycles are cheap compared to cars so it wouldnt be much for the insurance company to fix or replace after an accident. Just my

Sportbikes are insanely easy to steal, especially because so many people crash their bikes and you can buy their frames, switch everything over from the stolen bike, and get a salvage title and a clean bike. Not to mention the fact that if you drop a sportbike you almost have to have insurance pay for it simply because of how much everything costs to repair (over 1K in plastics alone). The biggest reason it costs so much is because people are stupid, and cocky, even if it isn't all the time, being on a sportbike while being an idiot about multiplies your chance to get killed or crash by about 10000%

^ What he said.

Sorry, but all males have balls that say "Go Faster!!!", "This looks like something stupid I could pull-off" or just simply "______" aka. NOTHING. While there are those who can restrain themselves from the first two urges, those who can't, and those who fall into the "no thought" category tend to crash causing our damn insurance rates to go through the roof.

Insurance can be found for relatively cheap if you buy a used early 90's street bike with LESS than 600ccs. Most companies use either cc's or "type of bike" (sportbike, cruiser, etc) to rate insurance. Either way, getting a smaller cc bike that isn't considered a true sportbike is the cheap way to go for insurance. Clean driving record means nothing b/c that's a CAR, not a BIKE. Okay, it means VERY little, but you get the idea now.

And I can get liability for 17$ a month, but like hell if I am ever going to do that. Also I am not talking about regular motorcycles, I am talking about sportbikes or bikes with the letter "R" in its model name. I have full coverage on my vtwin at 57$ a month, but my R1 is much much more.

ok, now I trid to get a quote through dairyland and halfway thorugh me listing my offenses to them they told me they were unable to rate me, anyone know of a company that will insure someone 19yrs old on a sport bike with a driving record on the complete opposite side of "CLEAN".

and if where you live youll be able to get youre money back from the 250, then go for it, but if not I think youll be done with that in a few weeks tops. I never even rode a sport bike and hopped on a R1 as my first, Ive only gone 4 days so far so IM not in the clear yet, and NOONE will ever ressomend that as a first bike, but id get like a mid-late 90's 600F3 at the least, again though, only if the 250 would end up a loss of cash when you sold it.

and Ive gotten a quote and pretended I didnt have anything on my record and it was very reasonable for a 03 F4i. so the older F3 shouldnt be a problem.
