Well it came today. I'm a 17 year old male living in Ontario. Last year I paid $1900 or so, this year I got the bill for $6842. Bye bye GS.
What are you guys paying this year compared to last?

Did you get any tickets or anything.

As other threads have said, Kingsway being one of the few to take bikes in Canada blacklisted the GS. They did change it back but w/ 400+ claims and only 2 ppl redoing quotes/renewals. Keep calling and bugging them, if not calla a company called Jevco. It's out of Quebec owned by Kingsway but they have affordable (2000 +/-) rates.

Keep trying and if you still have issues PM me and I can help you out. I've had a lot of contact w/ the companies recently.

i pay 108 a year ... and im 16 .....   

i am on with my dads bike too. so that helps alot. 

Yikes.  I pay 290 a year for full coverage, but I am 22 annd it's an '89.

197 for liability 20yr old clean record.

Yes, Insurance in Canada is much more expensive... But if you get in an accident... man that health care system sure has its preks! Oh and after an accident... You can't turn around and sue the other driver, your insurance company takes care of you, and their company takes care of them. They say it all balances out in the end, and avoids a hell of a bunch of expensive court time.

I agree that $6000+ is rediculous, but on a motorcycle... if you do get in an accident, you're at much higher risk to have serious injuries than if you had a cage around you.

I pay just under $1000 here in Winnipeg... but that's cause I declared the bike's value at $0 - $1000. The price would go much higher if I declared at the price I actually paid for it... but I only paid $1400 for it, so the insurance cost outweighs the benefit.

Ok, I'm 22.  Have had my endorsement since March.  Baught my GS in March, it's a 95.. I have to pay liability and all that garbage.  $230 for the year.  Again, insurance on a R6 or GSX-R750 was gonna be like 1800 a year through GMAC.  Even at 1800 it's still somewhat affordable and doable for me, keep in mind that was for full coverage too.  But wow, I'd move to the US or something.

That's just insane.  That's like paying the cost of a NEW BIKE every year, just in insurance!    I guess they want motorcycles off the road!?

Here in Colorado, sportbikes like the CBR F4i, R6 and the like are 14-1600 a year, and that's enough to make me not want to own one right now. My GS costs me $307 a year for 250 comprehensive/collision deductibles with 100k/300k/100k BI/PD limits.

I can't believe you guys north of the border are getting hosed.  Write to your representatives!

340 on the gs
190 on the 600


makes you wonder

Kingsway appears to have sorted out their insanity, but it didn't show up fixed on Kanetix.ca until last week.

Keep calling to get your renewal corrected.... or switch to another company.

I pay 2200/yr for my '05 GS. 

I am getting fed up with Ontario, and Canada for that matter... I'm about ready to come join you folks in USA

I payed 106.00 dollars for the year.  Full converage.

'89 GS..........$65/yr w/liability & roadside assistance only.....age 59, riding for 40 yrs, no accidents, no claims, yadda, yadda, yadda....

Can't believe how much things vary even between Canadian provinces. I'm in Alberta, paying $380 per year for my 05 (I'm 27, clean driving record, but only have my class 6 three weeks), for $1 million liability and comprehensive. My BF pays a little less for his bike, with collision as well, since it's not a sportbike (Kawasaki KLR).

I just got insurance today.  50/100 + comp + 2500 medical.  $450 for a year

I'm in st.louis, missouri.  23/male/clean driving record.
