For all you about to get an rc in the US shortly. CHECK WITH YOUR INSURANCE!!!!! This bike priced out at almost the same as a 2015 GSXR-750 for me. I am not a great example at 23 years old with a spotless driving record but we checked a few other people around the shop and they were crazy! Couldn't get a quote under $700 for a 44 year old man with a decent record. Absolutely insane! I had to not agree to purchase one of these beauties because the insurance was double the bike payment.
