I want to get a motorcycle and I have a car. I am selling my car and buying the bike. Am not worried about passing the licensing test or anything like that. Am wondering about how much motorcycle insurance runs. Anyone that can help with some examples or ratios in their personal life of how much a bike costs compared to a car?

US $.99





Your insurance on your first bike will probably be more than your car insurance was. You will save some money if that bike a.) is not a sportbike, b.) has a small-ish motor (less than 1000cc), c.) is used and fairly cheap. Taking the MSF course will also keep your payments down.
As you gain a couple years experience, prove to be a competent rider (no tickets or insurance claims) and get a car again (so you can list your bike as a “recreational vehicle” on your insurance) your rates will go down and could be cheaper than your car.
EDIT: Bear in mind that the people throwing out numbers below are NOT new riders. They are experienced riders with more than one vehicle. Go to Progressive.com or somewhere are run a quote, you’ll see that you’ll be paying much more than what they are.
“For my bike I pay $41 year liability and $130 for uninsured motorist.
On car I pay $256 for 6 months liability and $6 uninsured motorist.”
Good numbers. Why the difference?
Liability covers the damage you can do to others. A bike has less kinetic energy and thus can not do as much damage as a car when it hits something.
Uninsured motorists covers damage to you when you are hit by another vehicle. A collision in a car is much less likely to involve huge medical bills than a collision on a bike.
Motorcycle insurance is less costly than an auto. It cost me about two hundred a year to insure my old car and thirty for my tag. I pay forty-five dollars for insurance and fifteen for the tag. The only reason I even have a car is that I am in the middle of a rebuild on my bike but as soon as the bike runs again the car is up for sale.
i pay 55 a month(just basic”not full coverage) for my truck and 35 a month for my 2005 big twin cruiser and that’s full coverage with about all the good options. Have to say you will pay less for bike insurance but my driving record has no blemishes and I know for a fact that you will pay a lot more if you have a crotch rocket. Oh yeah, in Florida you need not have insurance on a bike.Hope that helps and be damn careful!
Get as much resource as you can maybe is one option,however it could be quite time consuming,here http://www.AutoInsuranceFree.info/free-auto-insurance.htm is one resource i have had good experience.

i always think of it like this
motorbike insurance is cheaper, because lets be honest, if you crash fast enough, your most likely not going to be alive to claim.
Like Zarnev says, there's a difference between an agency and a company.
And I think it's pretty safe to say, if you don't know enough about insurance to be able to recommend coverages for YOURSELF, you surely aren't able to go into the business yet.
Types.
Property. Liability. Directors & Officers. Errors & Ommissions. Workers Comp. Commercial Auto. Commercial Umbrella.
If you're referring to REINSURANCE, that's done via treaty, not by "buying a policy".

Filed under: Motorsports, Motorcycle, Electric, Off-Road KTM Freeride electric motorcycle concept – Click above for image gallery We first brought you news of KTM’s planned debut of two new electric motorcycle only days ago. It appeared as if the world would have to wait for the Tokyo Motorcycle Show and the official March 26th release date to get its eyes on fully exposed photos. If you were holding your breath for the unveiling, you can thank German mag Motorrad for breaking the photos early. As we can see now, the supermoto and enduro versions differ quite extensively, despite sharing a frame and power-train. The unique single crown fork protruding from a BMX-like handlebar and headtube combination holding a single headlight certainly set the slick-tired version apart from its knobby clad counterpart. We can’t help but notice the rather dainty tubular steel frame on each model, despite plastic covers that give the illusion of a much beefier unit. How much will it cost for your very…
Simply Amazing!!!!!!!!!!
