PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 If im not mistaken, State farm goes by the year model and engine size. That explains why the insurance is more expensive on my '06 shadow 750 than when I got a quote on a '04 CBR600 f4i that I mainly had my eyes on. PTT, isnt that what you've got? '04 yellow & black f4i? 511878[/snapback] I don't know about year but my understanding is a 600 is a 600 from state farm no matter what type of bike it is. Mines actually an '02 black and yellow F4i. Age also affects price, I couldn't see spending $2400 a year for insurance that's like throwing money away in my opinion, that'd put another quad in my stable before it'd support an insurance salesman. My gf says I need a liter bike next because the rear seats on the 600's have gotten very small and uncomfortable. Did the '04 F4i's come with the banana seat? '02 has separate seats.

Hilarious Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 (edited) I don't know about year but my understanding is a 600 is a 600 from state farm no matter what type of bike it is.

'02 has separate seats. 511894[/snapback] Yeap. The 04 got the bananna seat. Coulda had it for 7200, brand spankin new, but that is a whole complete other story. Insurance is one of those necessary evils. Gotta have it where I am. Sorry to stray off topic. Daryn, that's a sick bike you have.

MILO Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 $2400 a year for insurance damn, that's about what i pay to cover 3 vehicles, my cbr600(f2), banshee, and the house combined. full coverage on everything. my '92 cbr was never more than about $365 a year, full coverage, even when i bought it in '96, and 22 years old. 17 and riding a 1000 you better have some skills and a sensible head on your shoulders bud, or your gonna lose them both.

Insurance is one of those necessary evils. Gotta have it where I am. Sorry to stray off topic. Daryn, that's a sick bike you have. 512040[/snapback] Yeap you gotta have insurance. I got hit by an uninsured motorist about three weeks ago in my truck luckily and my insurance company is going after him for the damages instead of me having to take him to court. I had to pay my deductible but he won't be able to get his drivers license back until they get paid for the damages and in turn they will reimburse me my deductible. Well worth the money to have them do all the work, had he been insured he'd have saved a lot of money. That's a nice looking bike but I prefer the dual seat version. Also the older F4i's like mine and Locogato's were more comparable to the RR than the newer F4i's, the newer F4i's are more of a sport cruiser. I'd post a pic but photobucket doesn't like me today.
