Just 17 years old been obssessed with motorcycles

Check rates on the Yamaha WR250X or WR250R depending on how much street/dirt you want to do.
I did my M2 riders training on Yamaha TW200 with those fat bubble tires. I was looking them up earlier on Kijiji and even 2002 ones go for north of 3 grand. It was fun to ride those, and they sure are beginners bike but I'm guessing those are rare to find now.

I see that new ones cost 5.5k but might be a good investment if you can sell it later for more or less the same price.

I am amr, 17 years old, and reside in Mississauga Ontario. I currently have my m1 but due to covid restrictions, I wasn't able to get my m2. I have been looking for motorcycles I went from looking at YZF-R3 to Kawasaki Ninja till I contacted some insurance companies and I was getting 13/ year Literally insnane. Then I figured out that any sportbike will not do me good on my insurance. I really want to purchase a motorcycle for the summer when I have my m2 and training course done. I can't seem to find a single good bike for good insurance. I have been looking at the new BMW g310 r but I will probably get bad insurance since it is a new bike.

Is there any suggestion for a good bike I could purchase in the summer since my birthday is in June?

I joined this community because I thought I would get some actual useful suggestions

I am pleased to join such a community and I hope I grow within it over the next years
My son is 25 now, he got his M2 at 17. His first ride was a TW200. If I recall he paid about $1600 his first year. He moved to a Yamaha 250 cruiser year, then to a Ninja 250 over the next couple of years, he paid a little more for the Ninja.

Enduros up to 200cc seem to be cheapest. Then cruisers. This makes sense because both are lower up, higher torque, have forgiving chassis setup - all make them easier to ride (less risk to insurer).

Another thing that impacts insurance costs is bundling. Since you don’t likely insure a house or car, you might ask your parents to see about adding you onto their policies as a primary - could reduce MC insurance a lot.

if insurance is still out of reach, you might think about a scooter. Not the biggest thrill, but it should be the least expensive and will help you tick off a couple of years experience as a licences and insured motorcyclist. This is really an investment for future savings
 
Insurance brokers offer tenant insurance for people that don't own their house, that can get you started with a broker and "insurance bundling'

I don't know if motorcycling will even continue being a "thing" years from now. The younger generation is rarely interested in it and the ones that are face prohibitive insurance rates. I remember when I started at 17 years old, my Ninja 250R was around $35/month with State Farm...
I saw a thread with someone getting ~$1000/month insurance rates for an R6 which is insane.
To the OP, maybe take a look at the MT03 or MT07. The nakeds (seem) to be priced a little more reasonably at this time. Good luck!
Also, make sure when you are getting your quote, you say you have your M2.
 
Bundling may or may not work. I insure a house a condo and 4 vehicles spread over 3 insurance co's. Lots have tried to bundle and save me cash but done can beat the current pricing. (they struggle with the vehicles - car, campervan, bike and sled - total for all 4 is under 1500$/ year )

Same here have never found any savings from bundling has always been cheaper to shop each type individually.

You nailed it Relax. SHOP AROUND. I'm amazed at how many people I know who just whine about the cost but stay with the same firm as if loyalty was worth something.
