just read the stickies chart viffer wrote up, out of curiosity, anyone know whether sport touring (ie. kawasaki 400r) belongs to sport+SS or non-sport?

y dont u call an insurance company and get a quote?
im sure you'll get a more solid answer than here.
all u have to do is pick up the phone..
I am not here for a quote (nowhere in my thread have i asked for one. I just have a classification problem.
thank you captain obvious for pointing out that 400 is less than 600, i think i can handle numbers on my own. The Canadian public school system is not as bad as you may think.
If you knew your bikes , you would immediately guessed where the dilemma is, to put it in SIMPLE terms, im not referring to the displacement of the bike, rather the classification of the bikes, during my stay in hong kong and japan (latter where the bikes are from), the so called "sport touring" (in Canada) has 2 separate classification of its own, "sport touring" and "Standard", the difference between the two comes down to the mere chassis layout and whether they have fairings or the location of the fairings.
In example, the Er6n and the 400r have the same engine (minor difference in bore and stroke+cc), same chassis and some fairings, they are considered "sport touring" for the 400r and "standard" for the er6n (insurance is cheaper for standard).
So i think my question on whether canadian sport touring class consists of the "standard" class or does it fall into the category of "NON-SPORT? seems pretty legit no?
next time maybe research a bit before you go off pointing what seems to be "obvious", commenting without a intelligent response is as useful as not commenting at all

Actually I had a fair bit of difficulty finding insurance for my ER-6n because many insurance companies consider it to be a sportbike, including the company I had been with for 25 years.
Same deal with my VFR
My old insurer wouldn't cover the ER, because it was a 'sportbike', but had been covering my VFR for 9 years and would have covered a new one :lol:
Sorry. My mixup.
They would insure my VFR...but with a surcharge.
I had to argue quite hard with them.
^^^ LOLZ!
I call this Rage Knowledge.
Anyone got good ideas for a rage comic for this? XD

Jevco doesn't consider anything below 600cc to be a sport - and the ER-6n is more akin to a sport-touring, hence, also not considered sport by Jevco, and not surcharged.
