Typically companies will offer a Multi-Bike discount ranging from 5% - 15%. This still means that you pay close to full price for both bikes. The logic is this: insurance companies understand that I can only ride one bike at a time. However, what is to prevent me from letting a friend ride bike...

The only markets that come to mind for a stand-alone 600cc are State Farm, Aviva, and Allstate. Try getting quotes from each one, that way you're satsified with whatever you do end up paying :)

Confirmed, it's 5 years from G1. Also, one State Farm Agent suggested to me that if you want to get your bike on the A plan, insure a car and then switch it to Theft coverage only (very cheap). The bike will stay on the A plan regardless of the coverage you have on your car. My R6 with State...

Welcome to the forum! Also, you resolved your crisis admirably, you could have done way worse than picking up biking again.
