Mine went up $100 or so.. no tickets (convicted that is)... Going to shop around..
Insurance Rate Increase?! How much did yours go up?

LOL. in your world full coverage is 400% more than liability? Fortunately most insurance companies charge additional $100 to $300 for full coverage. Now sell your Focus, add $100-$300, and buy a Bentley.

I pay about 1500$ for my gsxr600.. now it's up to $1680 with Statefarm... I called TD.. and the BEST rate they could give me was $4500... dafuq?!
Maybe they didn't check your record. I went 5 years and through 3 insurance companies before one company I tried to get insurance with noticed my record had been messed up by one of my old companies because they had entered some windshield replacements as at fault collisions. Luckily a quick call to that old company got everything corrected.
Still waiting and wondering for my RBC renewal, though the date's not till the end of April. They've sent me lots of "Thank you for being our customer!" letters, which can't be good, lol.
Every year for the past three years I've had to switch insurers because the previous gang of idiots decided to raise my rates by at least a third, so I'm really hoping I don't have to go scraping around for a fourth year in a row.
34 years old (will be 35 at the time of renewal), squeaky-clean record, 750cc 1986 BMW K75, $638/year and I've managed to hold it to the $650 range by continuing to switch when my rates are raised.

My bike insurance dropped $5 per month to $50 per month.... car and minivan went up $11 per month...... wife got a ticket for rolling through a stop sign last summer , so maybe that's the reason......My record is clean, full M for 36 years, bike is 996 cc's ...... Aviva don't like greater than 1000 cc bikes , especially SS's ...... My 1098 was costing me $180 per month, that's why I sold it and got a Monster........ my lower back likes the Monster better too..... Cheers , Les

Exactly! The insurance companies never lose.. Its like Vegas, the house always wins. If we live in a free society, we should have the option of being insured or not. The whole insurance bit is another scam by the banks to take your money
I was just informed that my 1998 Goldwing policy was going up 10 percent to $1613.00. Over half is the basic medical benefits. No tickets since 2005or M/C claims ever. M licence since they were invented. Older than dirt.
Not only that benefits have decreased. Medical benefits are limited to $50,000 unless you buy extra coverage. In the USA that might fix a broken arm.
I have enough cash on hand that if the wife doesn't feel like cooking, a fifty dollar dinner out doesn't mean financial ruin. However I would drink my own blood before I paid $50.00 for a bottle of water just because there was a locked gate event. I'm starting to wonder if it's worth keeping a bike, not because I can't afford it but because of the screwing.
If flood damage ruined the insurer's bottom line take it out on the flooded home owners. My neighbours had flooded basements but I didn't. I had spent $10K on waterproofing years ago.
If your cage tranny packs it in on the way to work can you put it on your expense account?
