Bought my first bike May 2012. Got a brand new SV650. I had called around for quotes prior to buying it.
Best quote I got was TD/MM. They quoted me $1300. Didn't care if I had taking a course or not. The fellow I spoke to told me that all they cared about was experience and lack of claims. He told me that after one year my insurance would fall to about 1/2 or $700 +/-.
So I called back this week to inquire why my rates have not changed. The new agent I spoke to did not know anything about what I was talking about. He tells me that I am all signed up for the maximum deductions (house, other vehicles, etc). He even told me that I have been credited for my motorcycle safety course.
I am 37, have been driving a car since 16. No tickets, no accidents. No claims. I was under the impression the SV650 was insurance friendly.
Anyone else thinking either their paperwork is horrible or they are running a scam?
Anyone else have an experience like this? I am going to call back and try and sort through this. I note that all of their calls are recorded for quality assurance purposes. Certainly they can dig up the conversation I had with their agent.
