I just had to add the Tricolore to my Geico policy and it was only a little over $300 for the year, full coverage.  Of course I'm old (50) and have a clean record and multiple bike discount (four on that policy alone) so it all adds up to being pretty affordable.  Age, clean record, and a safe geographic area play huge roles in insurance costs.  I know a guy in his early 30s with a couple tickets on his record and he can barely afford to insure his Harley Softail.  His insurance payment is larger than his bike payment!  Shop around, increase your deductible, do whatever you have to do to get insured though.

What sux for me is I'm downtown, 30, 1 pay out claim last year, and a ticket on my record to be expunged in Septemeber.
