Default New member/rider with 650 V-strom (Blue)

Hi Everyone,
I'm Joel Batts, the new member to this forum and rider, first year. I just bought a blue V-strom 650. I'm going to pick it up tomorrow morning...well around 11am.

Being a new member and rider, I have lots of questions for all you veteran riders out there, and I'm looking forward to your words of wisdom. The first thing I want to take care of is the insurance.

Any recommendations? I'm going to call Progressive, AIS, Geico and All State tomorrow morning. Did I leave anyone out?

How much, approximately, per month/year should I be expecting to pay for the insurance given a new bike with no previous ridding experience? By the way, I have completed the motorcycle class and have a motorcycle license issued by the DMV of California. I'm in my mid 30s and living in Northern California, north of Sacramento.

Thank you for all your help in advance. I'm looking forward to your words of wisdom!

Regards,
Joel
