just sayin hello to all riders out there(especially sport and supersport riders). i live about 35mins outside of toronto and cant wait to ride in ontario this spring. i just bought an 07 gsxr600 and am dying knowing its at the dealer and i cant ride it yet!!!
also, im looking for insurance which is proovind difficult. ive seen quotes as high as $11000/year...my buddy only pays $108/month for his 00 f4i, so im hoping to not pay more than $250/month
any suggestions would be helpful, thanks!

Welcome aboard! Not sure how old you are or what your driving record is like, but those things play a bit into the cost of your insurance. What's hurting you the most, however, is your choice of bike. Not only is it considered a high liability to insurance companies because of the type of bike it is (crash-wise), but it would also be a high theft item. That's just how it goes.
Enjoy the forums, and good luck with the new bike.
Cheers,
Loonette

$ Eleven thousand? Yikes! You better keep shopping around.
Welcome to TMW. Good luck in your search for insurance.

Welcome to the board. Sport bike insurance is crazy at the best of times. Friends of mine who ride sport, swear by State Farm for good rates. Since State Farm is the insures the bikes soley by the displacement.
Good luck.

Know the feeling - bought a ZX-6R in Dec. and haven't picked it up yet
Weather is starting to turn now though so won't be long. For insurance - State Farm is good but may not take you on for a "bike only" policy. There's Kingsway, who are popular & also TD Insurance gave me a not bad quote. They require an alarm though for comp. coverage on a sportbike.
Good luck with the insurance thing - sucks to be young sometimes

I have my insurance with TD and they gave me a great rate, but they always ask "is it a sport bike" because they will not insure sport bikes due to the high liability.
At least that's what they keep telling me.
