Default Some question's before I make a life change.

As some of you might remember im back after this thread.
http://www.motorcycle-journal.com/fo...ight=insurance

I take my msf course in a month, but I have some real question's this time.

I decided to go wityh a Sv650'S, 1 of my co-worker's who I consider a good friend told me he has a brother who work's at a dealership in Phoenix which is 6 hours away from me. He asked his brother how much he could get a 2006 Sv650S brand new, he said he could sell it to me for $5,600 with the lower fairing. So would it be worth it to put the 200$ to 230$ in gas to get it their and I figure I'll get some good deal on gear which I hear is gonna cost a grand.

This seem's really cheap and Im just curious if the people who sell the bikes are aloud to sell the bikes to family friends/Brother's for this price.

My other question will this bike be cost effiecient, I will be doing 1,500 TO 2K miles a month every month. I dont know what routine maintenence is needed or how much it cost could someone gimme some examples please. I read at 600 miles their is maintence needed that cost between 150$ to 200$? Is this every 600 miles? and whats the next milage maintence is needed and so on? How many miles can these bikes last for? I will be doing atleast 20k in a year?

My last question is Insureance, Im 20, live in Az Bullhead City, No ticket's ever perfect driving record, I did online qoute and they said 2K a year which I cant afford, But I also em wondering if I could be added on my mother's policy for a motorcycle like I currently em on for my car which I pay 100$ a month 97 T-Bird V8, Full coverage. ( She's a Beauty, Msg if you wanna see pic's).

When I wanted the same insureance/same company for the Tbird on my own was 327$ on my mother's policy its $105 so Im figuring if I can add a motorcycle on it I might be looking at less then $100 a month.

I have a very addictive personality and strive for perfection so trust me when I say this is what wil happen.
