Just became a Ducatista(?) It's not a Monster, but did buy a Hypermotard. I've lurked for a while here and finally pulled the trigger. I hope to meet some of y'all.

Any recommendations on insurance? I'm with Progressive, had an '06 Honda Interceptor, paid for, coverage was about $600 per year. They want to charge $1400 for the Hyper.  The Hyper will have a lien on it.

Thanks, Marco

We are having a party right now. Stop by.

I switched to Foremost with my Hypermotard.  Went from around $1k with progressive down to around $600/yr for the same or better coverage. They even cover rider gear in the event of a crash, which is cool.  You can find their link on the US Ducati site, takes a phonecall, but good to deal with.

Oh yeah, welcome    I came from a  monster to the HM, great choice there!

Congrats and welcome.  Check with Progressive also and watch the health coverage because if you already have health at work you should be covered provided you are wearing a helmet.
Where do you live?

I'm currently with Progressive.  My renewal comes up in December, quote was about $600 for VFR. Changing it to the Hyper made it $1400 per year. The $600 quote took into a account a claim from Oct of 2007.  I could have lived with $900, but $1400!?

check also Dairyland/Foremost...can't remember which name they kept and again check your medical.  Is that quote for both bikes?

Hey Marco, congrat's on the bike and welcome.

I just double checked the Progressive qoute, it is only for one bike. I will check with Foremost.

See if your car insurance company insures bikes.  Might get a multi vehicle discount.  I've played this game with bike insurers, this year Progressive is cheaper, next year Dairyland ha better rates.  Back then Allstate didn't insure bikes, now they do so I have everything with them house, car and bike.

Also, and perhaps more importantly, do NOT party in Slag's pants.

i had FHE with progressive's motorcycle claims department earlier this year after being an idiot and crashing my monster in arkasas.  i can say most certainly that i will not be going back to progressive; it was a very frustrating process, and the adjuster/agent was impossible to get a hold of.  very bad times.  also, i dealt with progressive in 2007 when my car was totaled....also an extremely unsatisfying experience, as they were trying to knock substantial value off my car for a BS scratch on my bumper that was caused by the wrecking crew that transported it to the dallas impound.

everyone i've talked to about dairyland (foremost) has said excellent things about dealing with their claims people, and you get much more coverage for gear and accessories than with companies like progressive (progressive is only $1k, or at least my policy was).  also, you may want to check out the rates with esurance...they should have a decent rate for you.  and they give you like $3k of additional coverage.
