Good Idea.

I think you should do it. I in the future am getting an R1. I rode a Gixxer 750 last.

How much more is an R1 to insure and an R6. It cant be anymore than 3 grand a year :O Holy shit

If I get one, it will be under my name. My car is on my mom's plan because of insurance, and I need to build up some credit. My lease (begins in August) will be one way to do that, but having the money set aside to buy this bike will be another...

Exactly why I sold mine. Lol, nah I don't like fast cars only fast bikes. I am way to irresponsible in a fast car.

I grew up in Montana and learned to drive when we didn't have speed limits out there. I never fully adjusted to speed limits.

you know whats stupid is no one else is capitalizing on Kawasaki's success... the only other thing out there that is that cheap is... well nothing... there is a suzuki 500 that starts at 5k but still 3.5k for a 250 is amazing

must admit that is a good price for a 250...i recently bought a Yamaha fz6 for about 6.2k.

Insurance is roughly $1,800 a year, so to me it's all good

if i could find a bike with insurance less then 1.4k i would get it... thats what my mustang is, i would sell the stang and get a winter beater that has minimal / cheap insurance

with a 600cc sport bike its near impossible...well i could be wrong, it all depends. i would see those types of prices for 250cc-650cc cruiser type motorcycles.

Ok...one thing..i would LOVE to know how he's paying that low for insurance on a R6 of all things. If it's full coverage then that's one F'ing good policy...if it's liability theeeennn that's a different story.

And to answer your question, it all depends on the State, Location, and of course the Insurance company your with. i just recently moved and just a city change can jack up your prices like there's no tomorrow.
