    For a SS check out State Farm and TD

    p.s. good rates is a relative thing

    If you haven't already heard, Jevco is dropping SS bikes as of May; so don't even bother looking at them... they're great for sport-touring and other classes of bikes though, just for whatever reason they don't see insuring SS's as being worth it anymore...

    SF.

    Or sometimes, a facility company will give you better rates than anything else (and still be sub 3,000 lol).

    Re: Insurance

    State Farm is great for ~600s and under, but when it comes to larger bikes they get a bit pricey, even with a perfect record. Unless of course you have been with them for many years, and also have other things like a car and home insured with them.

    Although I wouldn't call it cheap, I managed to get the best rate from TD Meloche Monnex (this is different from standard TD insurance), but to qualify you need to be a member of a specific group. I got it from Queen's alumni, but UofT is also a member. Note that if you qualify under more than one group then find out which is cheaper, since Queen's had batter rates than the UofT group. Tip! I didn't personally qualify... I put a friend's name on the registration as a co-owner in order to get their rate. Of course it must be someone you trust.

    It is your age too young for TD it would be around $700 per yr if you were over 30.

    SF are around $1K for the year for my GSX-R750. Mind you, I've been with them for about 38 years and have multi vehicles, multi lines and a clean G for the same length of time.

    Because you are 24 lol. I got quoted on a Katana 750 (Same class as your bike with SF) and it was $87/month if I brought the truck to them as well (About $40/month more without).
    You might have to suck it up for a year and then get your cheap(er) prices when you turn 25.

    I think SF lets stuff slide a month, Depending on when your B-day is, other then that sucking it up or insurance fraud is your only options lol.
