How much do you pay for insurance?
- Thread starter CHRIS63
- Start date
you will almost certainly not see an adjustment for getting your M. How long you've been licensed is what matters.
I solved the situation for now.
The insurance problem was the nail in the coffin for the Tuono and I made a snap decision and sold it. Ended up buying a new bike that has 998 cc’s and falls under that magical 1000cc limit.
I still have my Tuono track bike, it’s just the street bike that’s gone.
New street bike is a Honda CB1000R. Picking it up in a couple of weeks.
Why the CB?

Ever since riding the Tuono on the track and experiencing what it’s capable of, it just seems so boring and underutilized on the street. I almost sold it in the Fall and decided last minute to keep it, the insurance issue was the nail in the coffin.
For a new street bike I was looking for something that was more refined, still had decent power but was a little more tame and not “on” all the time. I briefly considered the Yamaha MT-10 because of the sound but I think that would have been my only reason for going that route.
I ended up choosing the CB1000R because it’s got decent power, 145hp, very good handling, adjustable riding modes, up/down Quickshifter, is very tame when ridden in town and at reasonable speeds and looks great. It is also a Honda so I’m not worried about reliability or maintenance costs.
Oh, and it’s under that magical 1000cc limit so insurance is $650 for full coverage and $2m liability.

You went from the top of the segment to arguably the bottom. However based on your comments it sounds like that’s what you were looking for. Interesting

really surprised you didnt consider a street triple... or a tuono 660, personally, thats the route I would have gone withEver since riding the Tuono on the track and experiencing what it’s capable of, it just seems so boring and underutilized on the street.

Congrats though, different strokes and all
I like the look of that single-sided swingarm. Congrats!
Triumphs have never done anything for me, and the Tuono 660 is an awesome bike and I would love one! But with Two Wheel in Guelph being the closest Aprilia dealer to me (it’s 50 minutes away) that was a deal breaker for me.
+duke 890r is on my list if I ever decided to go 'slower', or 701sm/690smc

yeah, I think so as well, double checked with apex and it does infact come with cruise control as well(the duke not the smc)
Its probably not all that refined (because KTM) but hella fun

Katatonic's post started worrying me I might get a hike as well.

I also just got my renewal from Allstate, it went up by only 2 dollars. However, I am switching to Pembridge, liability coverage will go from 1 mil to 2 mil and annual premium is $275 lower. Also, from what I am told, if you are with TD or Riders Plus, your premium will probably jump a lot this year.
