| Try McGraw Insurance in Menlo Park or Anaheim-800-828-3003-they are very reasonable and gave me a great price on insurance for my 2002 Mean Streak

| Cathy,
Any bike bike other than an 883 must be considered a sport bike since the 883 are lame bikes and way toooooo slow. Sorry! |

| Cathy,
after reading your question I went to my Allstate agent. when we pulled the bike up as a speedmaster, the computer popped out with the quote for a SPEED TRIPPLE. The speedmaster wasnt even listed in the data base yet. It should be under the Bonniville rates. For where I live it was around 250.00 a year for full coverage. call around and make sure they are looking at hte correct bike.

| | Cathy, do not worry about the price of insurance. this bike is worth it in many ways and just think how much you will save in repairs (do triumphs break?) |

| Cathy, Do not worry. I had the same problem, my insurance company (Allstate) wanted 230.00 a month to insure this bike. You have to shop around and find an agency that is biker friendly. The Speedmaster actually falls in the lowest bracket because it is under 800cc. Try dairyland insurance. I love my Speedmaster, how about you?
Until...

| | I dropped Progressive 2 years ago when they more than doubled the rate on my MZ Skorpion -- saying they had reclassified it as a "Sport Bike." The MZ has a 660 SINGLE! |
