    Welcome aboard. While it's not the bike I'd recommend for a rider to start on, the odds are at least 80% that nothing will happen to you while you're learning the ropes

    $500 per month to insure a bike is insane. Insurance companies are such thugs, it's incredible. How old are you if you dont mind me asking?

    Welcome to GTAM!! I would assume OP got insurance through the Facility Association which are not thugs lol - it's actually a place where all the insurance companies pool some of their funds to provide insurance options to the "hard-to-place" risks. Nobody makes money or commission from selling or setting up a Facility policy - it's more like a last resort. Either way, ride safe, be patient, and insurance and all the rest of it will work itself out.
