new street rider, 09 r6

hey guys whats up? Im new to the streetbike scene but have been dreaming of owning one for a while now. I finally purchased an 09 r6 after careful consideration, I understand that this machine commands the ultimate respect and im prepared to show it that respect. I just started my msf courses this weekend. Im really excited

Re: new street rider, 09 r6

You all got off lucky $780 up front for liability and comprehensive through progressive. Of course an 03 954 is considered a super bike to them so I Guess that's why. And I'm 22 so that make it even worse. Plus the people I insure my house and truck through won't even write a policy on bikes so I had to go Progressive.
