Definitely check around and compare apples to apples. You might also ask how they rate the bike, some places look at retail value, some look at displacement, some look if it has GSXR, Ninja, etc. All goes into consideration as well as credit, down here.

Good Luck
1ki is about the average here. 2k, like i said, I can live with.

I dont know anyone who pays the low rates you do down there.

ya, I do know guys paying a lot less, but they are in their 50's for the most part. Two friends got letters the same as mine. both mi thirties with perfect records too. Not as big of increases, but both almost doubled.

The good thing for me is theft protection is only $1 a month and they dropped $60 off my total year on my car. With the clean record I have, I still think I'm paying too much. When I call around I just get the "you're not 25 yet BS."

Canada's insurance is very different. Aside from the massive population difference (35 million compared to 308 million) insurance is just different up here. $1000 is totally respectable!!!

Try TD Meloche. If you're apart of a group (maybe your union, for me it's university grad) they offer discounts.

ICBC. Seems like a good idea at the time but it's just a government program to take people out back and fuck them behind the woodshed...all in the name of saving them money.
