Hello all. I've been lurking on these and the SBN forums for a couple years drooling over everyone's fantastic bikes and I'm finally taking delivery of a Raven 08 next week. Just wanted to see if anyone else has seen a huge insurance rate difference between the pre-08 and the 08 FZ6?
I was looking at a '05 FZ6 earlier this year and was quoted $146 a year full coverage (which made sense as my 03 BMW F650CS was around 142 a year). Once I found out I was getting the 08 I called just to see what the difference would be, figured maybe $50 a year at the most since its 3 years newer but sadly I was just quoted over $800 They said this year has been classified as a supersport...I haven't got a VIN yet to give them so I'm hoping its a serious mistake but I just wanted to check if anyone else has ran into this.
If this is correct, I'm going to back out of the deal and get the R1 I was looking at...they only wanted $100 more a year for that and if I'm gonna pay for a supersport I'm sure as heck gonna ride one!
