I've been with Progressive ever since I started riding. Since my Suzuki GZ250 was my first vehicle and I was a new driver my full coverage insurance came out to $1800. 4 years pass and my insurance for the Vulcan 500 is $500 for full coverage.
The good thing is that since I was never under my parents insurance I established my own history which should be good for when I get a car or another bike. Did I mention I'm 22?

Heh I'm paying $1,200+ a year for my FZ6 through AAA. With State Farm it would have been around $1,500.
I wish my insurance was under 100 hours a month.

I ride a 250 and full coverage was $83 last year. Rural Iowa does have lower rates than most cities. My regular agent wrote the policy through a regional carrier.

Through Progressive my insurance was $101 for the entire year. Colorado has low insurance rates I think.

I have a special deal for state employees for a different insurance company so I am even cheaper than State Farm.
I was with statefarm before I moved to BC, they were great and very affordable. Although I think charging based on displacement is slightly inaccurate. (i.e. 600cc gsxr is cheaper than my 900cc scrambler) But now in BC I've got one insurance company choice, the government. they have no competition and they charge through the roof!
wow three posts in one thread with me whining about socialism... guess it's apparent I haven't gotten used to it yet;)

Both geico and progressive gave me much cheaper rates for the kawasakis versus the yamahas. About $500 a year less.

Only for bikes! Otherwise we rate #3 in the country...
My Volusia was 450/yr through Progressive, and at that point I had taken the MSF, good student discount, two accidents, 4 tickets (including the accidents), and it was my first bike...
