I thought insurance was a non-requirement for motorcycles? It is for Washington state anyways.

There are some states that don't require motorcycle insurance. Not many of them.

Just because they don't require it doesn't mean it isn't a good idea.

[thread veer] Even though you're not required to carry insurance on your motorcycle in Washington, you are still liable for a chunk of money should you cause an accident. It's a good idea to carry liability insurance at a minimum. [/thread veer]

Also, if you do get in an accident, one that you caused, or just a single-party accident - you're going to want some cash to cover expenses, as it just might not be the bike that you're coming out of pocket for.

As for bike choice - why not a Ninja 650?

Good luck in whatever decision you make.

This is the wrong board to be suggesting that a newb start on a 600. Just saying.

Not to mention that it will be quite a bit harder to learn on a bike like that.

If you get in accident or get hit, your insurace price/cost will go up....right?
