Comparatively speaking I have found the Grom is actually expensive to insure.. My 2007 Hayabusa was $650 a year for full coverage vs a quote on the Grom from same company same coverage was $270.. When u think the busa was 4x the cost, 1174cc more bike and one of the highest risk bikes the grom is priceyYeah but how much is that comparative to what your quoted for other bikes? Because I pay a lot more for insurance in Canada ($4400/yr for a ninja 500 with no tickets and nearly 2 years experience..) so that means nothing to me.
That's scary I insure a 12 multistrada, 09 hypermotard, 08 fjr1300, 2 07 crf230ls, 07 te610, 05 cbr1000, 97 nighthawk 750 and 96 xr400 all with full coverage $100 deductible for less than $2200 multiple tickets but 40 years exp.Yeah but how much is that comparative to what your quoted for other bikes?

That's crazy expensive. That's close to what I pay for 3 bikes! Progressive baby!was quoted $300 a year full coverage by AAA
Yeah well apparently my age + experience means I'm going to total the bike every yearThat's scary I insure a 12 multistrada, 09 hypermotard, 08 fjr1300, 2 07 crf230ls, 07 te610, 05 cbr1000, 97 nighthawk 750 and 96 xr400 all with full coverage $100 deductible for less than $2200 multiple tickets but 40 years exp.

Wow that's a good rate I Just called progressive and they were almost $400 full coverage. I have no tickets, no accidents, have taken a training course and have 14 years ON ROAD experience. Insurance is going to vary state to state & country to country but I wouldn't think that much, is what it is though. As to Kyle response of "that means nothing to me" you asked a general question with minimal information and I gave you an answer if you didn't like it a simple "hey thanks" would have sufficed not that crappy response. By the way this is the only bike in my garage at the time, had to sell the rest but last year my 08' klr650 was $390 by AAAThat's crazy expensive. That's close to what I pay for 3 bikes! Progressive baby!
The brave continue to ride all winter. I'm eager to see how well this performs in the snow. My KTM was all over the place because of wide tires and low weight. I'm expecting the Grom to be even worse.... still gotta try it though!It's a new bike to the system. It will take several years for the price to settle in. Some will insure it cheap based on CCs and others will error on the high side to cover their ass' until the repair/replace numbers start coming in. Based solely one MSRP and CC size is SHOULD be very cheap to insure. Especially in states where winter prohibits much use.
