bike insurance compared to car insurance is pretty cheap, but rates vary from company to company, and it also depends on if u have the full motorcycle endorsement, if u took and passed the msf basic riders course, and the type of bike.
if u dont already have a car driver license, and u just get a full motorcycle license (no permit), u cant legally drive dad’s car until u get a regular driver’s license.
now u need to choose the type of bike. sport, sport-touring, or cruiser. sport-tourer’s is a bit of a hybrid; has the looks of a sport bike, but can give the comfort of a cruiser.
if a sport bike is ur choice, and u are a 100% rookie with zero miles on the saddle, 9 out of 10 rider’s will suggest getting a kawasaki ninja 250.
cruisers, u could go with either metric or harley. the 883 and 1200 sportsters are mid-sized but are ‘small’ compared to other harley’s.
if u prefer a cruiser, and would rather get a harley, u wouldnt go wrong with getting either a sportster, or even a wide glide.
its highly suggested u take the basic rider course. before u hit the road. some states will waive the on-cycle test requirement to get the full endorsement if u pass the brc.
Bike insurance is CHEAP. My guess is you’ll pay about 200 a year for basic coverage.
Look up Motorcycle Safety Foundation. I think you can take their class and lower your insurance. They also have test you can take on line. Motorcycle simulator on Motorcycle Safety Foundation website.
go on line to progressive insurance you can get a free quote. The cost depends on the size and type of bike
