wow that realy sucks...what does insurance do for a bike done up like that? do they just give you a new bike and not cover the value of what was done to it or what?

See now i'm angry!! and where the hell where the stinking flashlight cops? UggHzZ I would have been in the damn office fighting with someone! How can you not see a bike get trailered out? or someone messing around with the ignition system? I dunno how easy or quick it is to steal a bike since i'm not a thief! Damn it, I think i'm more pissed off about this then u are!!

oh there was a special on dateline or 20/20 a few years ago. It only takes a thief like 5 seconds to crank one. It just look like it's their bike they had guys walk up sit on it and crank it. It was amazing so it doesn't really look like they are stealing it.

That really sucks, :2hard do you guy's think that the manufacturers should try to develop some new ways to keep this from happening? Like make it impossible to crank a bike I mean look at cars now days compared to 10 years ago they are soooooo much harder to steal maybe they need to update the security on bikes and make it STOCK so us consumers don't have to pay a shit load more for it, also if they did this than insurance rates for theft protection would go down... which I think bike insurance is OUTRAGEOUS!!!! Insurance on a bike exspecially a sportbike is UNREAL!!! I know so many people that want to buy a bike so bad but as soon as they get an insurance quote they say "Hell NO" I mean from my searching I have not found very many companies who actually insure sportbikes.. What insurance do you guy's have and how much do you pay?????? I use Dairyland and I pay 260 per month!!!!!! It SUCKS!!!!! :2hard

I live in Columbus, OH and pay $340 a yr for full coverage on a 2005 750, plus I had 2 speeding tickets in the last 3yrs. Liberty Mutual is the insurance company. Maybe its because I'm 29 and married, but we do have 2 vehicles and the house on the policy too.

sorry bout the bke dude. Last year I heard of 5 or 6 guys cruising around the southeast from New Orleans to Panama City, they were in a 4 door truck,black or navy blue i think, they had 2 pipes, 4 guys would get out lift the bike through the wheels , put it in the truck and gone. Don't think they ever caught them. I think they got around 150 bikes. Sucks but thats what we pay ins. for. mine is with State farm $260 every 6 mo. also have 2 cars and house with them

Maybe you can put some sort of switch to disable the battery to the ignition. The only thing is that the bikes are so light anybody can take them. I hope they find your bike and Prosecute those bastards

In the future if you guys really want to screw thieves over you should try a system from <rockymountaintracking.com> they have a GPS system that can track your bike anywhere in the world and it only costs $0.25 per view of where your bike is from the internet. You can tell where they are, how fast they are going and you can even turn the motor off at the touch of a button if you want to. It is also compatible with police tracking systems. I am thinking of getting one myself as I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. BTW my insurance for a 1998 GSXR 750 is $550 through State Farm.

I just figured out my insurance rate per bike, and it's only $200 a year for full coverage for each bike. But, I do remember what it was like to be younger......wicked expensive.
