Question for guys with street bikes - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

I am looking to buy a street bike this spring/summer and was wondering how much you guys pay a month for insurance and who you go through with your insurance? Just trying ti figure out how much it will cost me a month to own a street bike. What about maintenance and other stuff like that, I cant imagine maintenance to be as much as a car.

$324 a year for insurance (basic and I'm 22) and about $100 for maintenance (oil change, wax, soap) Every year or 2 i'll buy a new rear tire

Maintenance is cheaper... IF you can do it yourself. Otherwise it's actually more expensive due to it being more of a "specialty" type of work. Wheels don't just unbolt you see.

'98 CBR 600 F3, progressive motorcycle coverage; $75 a year.

As with all things depends on your coverage. Had to carry full coverage through my first year of ownership with a brand new bike. Cost me over $1700 for a year. Now I have minimum coverage through Allstate and its $127 a year.
