All right well Im a person with no experience in riding but have signed up for the MSF in may, but i need to look into insurance. Can anyone give me a few names so I can give them a call and get some quotes (IN Mass), so I can get some ideas.

Second I've been looking aorund at bikes and I went to south shore motorsports in quincy. What do you guys think of them and input?

Thanks for all your help just trying to get into this and figure it all out

oh ok.... pardon ne moi im with Safety. they're cheap but i don't plan to make any claims.

used SV are prolly the best way to go. and if you are worried about insurance than SV is DEFINATLY the way to go. it doesnt say "ninja" on it. they will qualify that bike as a "standard". which means low risk. you get a EX250... it still says "ninja" on it and thats all the insurance cares about. even their new 650 says NINJA. it kills your rates. go with the SV.

i had progressive with a horrible record and i paid $60 a month for my SV for full coverage in phoenix

[Murphy_101]

ok so which insurance companies do you guys go with??

[Kham]

woo man! ninja really has bad name huh?

[SVRACER01]

go to an independent broker that carries several companies. they will tell you your best bet.

You're in MA, right? Doesn't matter much at all. I have Commerce like most people in MA do.

[Murphy_101]

All right, I wasn't sure how motocycle insurance went but I guess ill just stay with Saftey my cars under that. Talk to my insurance agent tomorrow.

Also though anyone know where I could find a used SV650 cause I don't see many on CL and that were i been mainly looking.

all right thanks for all the info.

I went for my permit today and waited for an hour just to be denied. The guy at the main desk told me all i needed was my liscense because all my info was already in the system. So a stand around for an hour and finally reach the desk, and am told then i need my SSC proof of residence etc, that place is like going in circle a hell hole i tell ya.

[KillBill]

I will ask someone i know that had one. It was an 03 yeller one. I'll check

[Murphy_101]

Well, that's the typical DMV for ya. Everytime I need to go there i have that feeling that something will go wrong. I think almost anyone can attest to that.

You'll get it soon enough.

Yeah... Been there done that, it sucks.... now I always go to the Mass RMV website before going to a branch location... usually it'll tell you what you need.

+1 It also usually gives you how long the wait is at various branches.

sv if you have some maturity

if not then a 500 twin

"you'll shoot your eye out"

[Currently]

SV will give you some room to screw up.
It will also kick your butt if you do something stupid.

I am glad I was told to look at the SV when I wanted to get back into
motorcycling ... I was going to buy one, learn and trade up.

I am having so much fun with the SV that I am gonna pull a RandyO on it.
I may get another bike but I am keeping this one till I squeeze all the juices out of it! :

I've got four bikes insured through Commerce. They seem fine but I've never had to file a claim so can't comment on that aspect of service.

In MA it doesn't matter what your bike is (sport, cruiser, whatever). The noncompetitive, state-regulated (gotta love socialism) insurance industry draws no distinction on type, just engine displacement.
