Progressive wanted over $1,000 for a year of liability only on my 599.

I went with State Farm and have full coverage with high deductibles for $250 a year. Much better!

Allstate wanted $4800/year for full coverage on my Streak. Needless to say, I shopped around and went with Progressive for $800/year full coverage, and they dropped it to $400/year after the first year of owning it.

1000 a year for a 599! they must consider it to be a sportbike

My Radian was $600 every six months or so. 20 years old, worth about $1200 or so. They are just a bit nuts upstairs, I guess.

Reporting back. While I didn't quite get in any 300 miles day, I did 190 today and 180 a couple of days ago.

The problems areas for me are the throttle and the footpeg position. I figure a Throttle Rocker would solve the first problem for those longer cruises. My knees get stiff real quick due to the footpegs being as far back as they are, but I straighten a leg a couple of times every 30 to 50 miles or so and it's just fine.

Some highway pegs, a Throttle Rocker and I'd ride that thing all day long.

Not like I need to ride it any more, I bought it 32 days ago and have put over 2600 miles on it since then.
