I believe mine went up a little over last year. Not by too much.

I've done some shopping around. The big expense is collision. Without Collision added I can get it around $300 a year. I've checked with Progressive, Dairyland, Safeco, and Gieco so far. All are $1000.00 per year or more. With Gieco if I raise the deductible to $1000, It brings the rate down to $758 a year. I don't really like raising the deductible that high.
The Foremost web sight wants me to go to a local agent for a quote. I'll try and get by one this week and see what they say. I'd be more comfortable with $500 deductible ($250 would be best) and a yearly cost around $600.

I could be wrong but I don't think a BRP dealership's service department would do a no cost collision estimate. Not unless they were going to do the repair. JMHO

I just got my renewal bill on my 2018 GMC Canyon from State Farm, which is 20% higher than before. I was told that the increase is due to 3 factors;
1. I turned 75 putting me into a higher risk category
2. With 4 years' worth of claims experience on my model and year vehicle, its risk factor for loss has increased
3. My state (Utah) has seen a 10-15% increase in rates overall due to inflation and risk factors
No word yet on what my Spyder premium will be upon renewal

I finally found Insurance at a cost I can live with through All State. 50K/100K, $250 deductibles, and uninsured motorist for $650 a year.

I go through Dairyland and pay 47 for full coverage a month for both on both of our 21 RTL Spyders. Cost has a lot to due with where you live, age, how long you have had an endorsement, driving record and credit score.

Hope you never have to find out how short that coverage really is if you are ever the cause of someone's injury. Or do you have good personal liability coverage through a homeowner's policy?

That's Joel the Biker's premium, not mine. Mine is $465/year. Did you see the commercial where the man and woman told the judge they've sold everything and all they have left was the savings for their son's college education, and the suing attorney said to the judge, we'll take that too?

I'm using Progressive.
My annual premium is $468.
That's for all 12 months.
Some companies sell a 6 month policy which can save money, but I like the freedom of going out for a ride during a warm winter day.
I know, warm is relative, but sometimes it can hit 40°F in Jan and Feb.
If it ain't broke, don't break it.

Re: Handling of a claim by the Ins Company.
I Had a new Triumph Tiger 1200 with 3k miles and hit a deer 70 miles from home. I straightened the handlebars and rode home with no issues except tupperware damage. The bike cost $21,000, 3 months old. Progressive totaled the bike and paid full price plus new helmet, jacket, gloves, & pants. I walked away with no cost for a 3 month 'test ride' since the 1st loan payment was set for 6 months from purchase. The deer didn't make out as well!

I think the minimum in CA is for liability and is about what most people carry for liability anyway. Could be wrong about that.

That may be true, the minimum coverage is Ca. is 15K/30K . That can be used up very fast in an accident. It leaves you open to a civil law suit for any balance that the insurance doesn't cover.

I paid $250 with Progressive for a 2021 RT (With Towing and 3K Accessories coverage) . Plymouth Rock wanted $650 for less coverage on the Spyder.
For some reason Progressive charges more than twice as much for a Harley Trike.
Plymouth Rock (formally Rider Insurance ) charges twice as much for the Spyder than A Harley trike. I don't get why, I think the Harley trike is more of a risk of an accident then the Spyder.

I had the same issue with Progressive. Paid my premium in full then they sent me a letter in the mail wanting me to sign a declination statement for the underinsured coverage. I refused, so they sent me another bill which doubled my premium. I went to Geico and got the same insurance premium for $200 less and turned around and dropped Progressive.

I was digging around for information regarding a similar question on a FB group and I found this information online. While it may not apply to this particular situation I thought was good Gee Wiz information. These are some of the things that determine your auto insurance premiums.
Your driving record – The better your record, the lower your premium. If you've had accidents or serious traffic violations, it's likely you'll pay more than if you have a clean driving record. You may also pay more if you're a new driver without an insurance track record.
How much you use your car – The more miles you drive, the more chance for accidents so you'll pay more if you drive your car for work, or use it to commute long distances. If you drive only occasionally—what some companies call “pleasure use"—you'll pay less.
Location, location, location – Due to higher rates of vandalism, theft and accidents, urban drivers pay a higher auto insurance price than those in small towns or rural areas. Where you park your car (on the street or in a secure garage) and anti-theft features may impact the bottom line as well. Other factors that affect premium price that can vary from one area or state to another are: cost and frequency of litigation; medical care and car repair costs; prevalence of auto insurance fraud; and weather trends.
Your age – In general, mature drivers have fewer accidents than less experienced drivers, particularly teenagers. Insurers generally charge more if teenagers or young people below age 25 drive your car.
Your gender – Statistically, women tend to get into fewer accidents, have fewer driver-under-the-influence accidents (DUIs) and—most importantly—have less serious accidents than men. So all other things being equal, women often pay less for auto insurance than their male counterparts.
The car you drive – The cost of your car is a major factor in the cost to insure it. Other variables include the likelihood of theft, the cost of repairs, its engine size and the overall safety record of the car. Automobiles with high quality safety equipment might qualify for premium discounts. Insurers not only look at how safe a particular vehicle is to drive and how well it protects occupants, but also how much potential damage it can inflict on another car. If a specific vehicle model has a higher chance of inflicting damage when in an accident, an insurer may charge more for liability insurance.

I wonder how teens compare to senior drivers, especially those, say, over 75? A local driving tester told me one time that seniors have scared him the most when going out with them for a driving test. He said teens are actually quite good drivers because their senses and reactions make them more alert than what seniors are.
