Reminds me, when I had my 1000 dollar '94 Suzuki Katana 600, progressive wanted about 800 bucks a year to insure it! I bought my 2006 GSXR1000 and Progressive quoted me 250 bucks a year. Doesn't make sense at all.
they are... but 750's
1. have more plastic to break on a drop
2. have been around to be totaled out for a long time

the 1125 is new, so the ins companies don't know what it is yet... and the other buells are cheap as there aren't a million of them out being wrecked!

good deal... the new 250s are great but considering they are almost twice as much as a decent old 250 and people might not keep them a long time before upgrading, the old 250 is still a better deal IMO.

More SV questions:
- how much do u think it would cost to PC the rearsets black?
- easy to remove the passenger grab bar things?
- how much does a rear seat cowl cost?
- what are common suspension mods? how hard is that shit to do? will i even notice the difference?
- how much mileage should u get out of the stock tires? (whats a good replacement?)
