ti-lou Posted February 7, 2009 Share #1 Posted February 7, 2009 Hello you all: In order to establish a comparaison of fees between motorbike users across the country (Canada). Please send me the fees related ot the use of a motorbike in your province. For instance, the cost of insurance(in full) for a motorbike RSV_2007, the cost of a motorbike driver's licence and finally the cost of license plates for your bike (all taxes included). Thanks for your feedback Ti-Lou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithR Posted February 7, 2009 Share #2 Posted February 7, 2009 Hi There For my 2006 venture Plates $80 / year Insurance $1350.00/year full coverage ($1000 deductible) Just public Liability $650/year Fire and Theft for the winter months is $50/mth We can't insure for just the riding season it has to be for the full 12 month term....they say that bulk of the premiums are used during the peak months June - September. I'm 50 with a fairly clean driving record (1 speeding ticket last yr in car) and have had a m/c lic since 1975 Hope this helps Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvrT Posted February 7, 2009 Share #3 Posted February 7, 2009 Fire and Theft for the winter months is $50/mth Our rates are about the same here in BC; however, I discovered something about the difference between Specified Perils (basically fire & theft) and Comprehensive (basically anything other than collision or liability). If your vehicle is stolen (or for that matter, catches on fire)... if you have Specified Perils then it has to be a full write-off to have any coverage whereas if you have Comprehensive, any damage suffered is covered. I found this out when I went to insure my scoot for the winter and was discussing the differences with the Ins agent soas to see what the pricing difference was.

SilvrT Posted February 7, 2009 Share #5 Posted February 7, 2009 WOW thats high, I'm in the U.S. and I only pay about $16 for plate and I have two bikes one is costing me $130 a year and the other is $350 for full coverage. I'm not sure about Keith but here in BC, it's Government run insurance ... no competition ...unionized...they charge whatever they please more or less.

GeorgeS Posted February 7, 2009 Share #6 Posted February 7, 2009 About $440.00 a year for insurance on my 2 bikes. ( Progressive ) About $50 each for the Plates. $5.00 a year for the MC endorsement on my Drivers licence. However, on the insurance, a persons age, makes a big difference. I'm sure everybody is aware of that . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithR Posted February 7, 2009 Share #7 Posted February 7, 2009 It's not government insurance here so you can shop around. I find where they are low on a car or house they would be higher on something else so It balances out. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarges46 Posted February 7, 2009 Share #8 Posted February 7, 2009 1400 for the bike..full coverage including plates. My license is no differant...40 bucks if you have merits. More if you dont. I am 51 with full merits (5) and the prices listed are including the discounts I get for have merits. Again...government insurance...no competition. Got us by the gonads! Goes up about 8-15 percent for bikes every year...almost automatic..just because. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ins with Riders Plus $735 on my 02 RSVM The $42 is for the plate. I screwed up on the License renewal part though - the $75 renews your driver's license for 5 years (not 1 as previously posted). Sorry for the confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted February 8, 2009 Share #14 Posted February 8, 2009 in alberta the motorcycle license is just part of the drivers license. plates cost $48 a year. insurance varies depending on what you get. I pay $106 a year but that is just $1M PL/PD. If it get stolen or wrecked it's just gone. I live out of town and my last ticket was in 1993. My friend has collision and all perils on a new C50 and is paying $800 just for insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
