insuring race bikes?

[kermita]

Does anyone insure their race bikes? and if so, how? A rider on home owners or vehicle insurance? Considering how much $$ some people put into their racers, I'd imagine that you'd at least want theft coverage on it.

I was wondering the same thing a while back. I looked into adding it to renter insurance, but they didn't want to do it and kept telling me to get motorcycle insurance. Obviously you cant get MC insurance on a race bike. I finally found a place called Ace Insurance I believe. They had a minimum of 60K worth of coverage to start a policy. I'm still interested in finding something if I can though.

i know progressive insures "race vehicles" under its own type of policy....I think when I got a quote it came to about $5k/yr haha

Mine are insured except the 03 R6 because it has a salvage title. The new R6 and the Aprilia are covered for theft and fire only. I'll check, but I think it was around $110 a year. It' kind of like an ATV type policy. Allstate.

you'll need the fire protection for the new R6 with those new design on gas tanks

Thanks for the information....I'll have to check out Allstate then. I called Amica (where we have our home and vehicle insurance) and I was pretty much told that it wasn't going to happen....and this came from a representative that actually knew that a Ducati was a motorcycle. She advised me to check out "local" insurance agents as I'd have better luck with them. We'll see....
