Hi there,
I'm a 17 year old guy in Canada (Mississauga, Ontario to be precise) and I just got my M1 license. That's something along the lines of a learner's permit for Motorocycles, has a bunch of restriction like "can't drive on highways, at night, or carry passengers, etc". I'm going for a training course in April for my M2 (lets you do everything but have blood alcohol, full M license lets you have up to .08% I think). I'm looking at used Ninja ZX-6 (normal), ZX-6R, and Ninja 250R and 500Rs, and hoping not to spend more than $4000CDN (about $3000 USD). Maybe a tad more if I can get financing somehow.
Well, that's my introduction, ask me questions if you want to know more. Now, for my question:
How much does it cost to insure your bike? I checked up on an online site (kanetix.com) and it returned a $10,000CDN (about $7,500USD) quote for a Ninja ZX6R!! I fiddled around a bit and then I got about $2400CDN for the 250R and 500Rs. That was acceptable I thought, until I see this:

He says he pays $126 a year!!
As young as I am, you've no doubt guessed that I don't make a whole lot of money. If possible, I'd like to know how he gets those rates (and how I can get those rates too).
Help? (Thanks in advance)
