I'm trying to get an idea of how much I'll pay for motorcycle insurance. I'm 20, with a good driving record, who is looking to buy a honda rebel as a starter bike. So, if you could tell me your age, gender, insurance company, and how much you pay, it would be greatly appreciated. Please only serious answers.
TIA

if you can give me a list of reasons why over the other
So far so good. I just wanted to thank all of the Yahoo Answers people that helped me to pick out a beginner motorcycle. I ended up buying a 1976 Honda CB550 in great condition for cheap. 50 horsepower and I don't mind if I get a scratch on it. So far it has been pretty good to learn on. In my opinion it is a good bike to begin on because I am not competing with the crotch rocket crowd and it has a cool retro look and it is very forgiving when I screw up. Thanks to all of your answers.
I have to change the oil on this motorcycle, and I'm not sure, how many quarts of oil I need. I'm going to buy a new oil filter. Is there anything else I need to know?

In the U.S. Honda is the leader of new bike sales, HD is #2
Then why is it every used motorcycle for sale adds are mostly used HD's for sale?
Then why are there few used Honda Motorcycles for sale.
Answers:
"A" There are more HD's for sale because the economy is bad and people can't afford the payment on a K motorcycle
"B" HD Owners want to trade in their old HD for a new HD but the dealer will not give them a fair trade in price
"C" The current HD they own is outta warranty and it has engine problems that are too expensive to fix, or you can afford to have it fixed
"D" After owning a HD you admit you made a mistake buying it, you wanta sale it to have the money to buy a new Honda Motorcycle
im looking for a sport bike like a Honda cbr or Yamaha r1,r6
but i want to build it myself....is there any places you can buy one unassembled?
I'm looking for a cruiser, not a racing bike or crotch rocket. I've heard that the Honda Shadow is good to start on. Is that right?
Is a Harley-Davidson better? I've heard you're just buying the name and that they require more maintenance than other bikes.
What makes a Harley better, then? Is the resale value better because of the name alone?
A link to a website where they sell it or certain store where they sell it with the location would be helpful.

As I recall, a gentleman bought the name and was going to start making them in California with a Honda v-twin engine. I've been checking around the web, and I can't find anything after 2004. Even their website doesn't have any info. Did they go under?
I ride an old bike, a '79 honda cx500 custom.
Any particular brand of jacket ? I have a helmet, need gloves, jacket, maybe pants, boots...looking for specific suggestions, thx.
I'm new to this game here so maybe I just don't know what I'm talking about. I jsut bought this 86 Honda 450 and it has the factory mirrors on it. They're rectangular - 5" something by 2" something on 6" posts.
I was riding today and noticed I can't really see much to the sides and rear without leaning out of the way and no matter how I adjust them. They don't vibrate or anything, I just can't see much. And also, obviously, I can't see what's directly behind me.
Is there some type of mirror extension, or wider mirror I can buy that'll help me see better? You know - like what a truck or car would have when towing a trailer.
Well i have a 1973 honda cb 175 (k6) right now that i have sort of restored for when i get my permit. I do want a starter bike, but this one is definitely lacking that "new" feeling and is a "cowboy" positioned seat. What type of bike or what bike in general is best to look at for a beginnerthat is about a 250 and more or less "new". I like this bike i have right now, i just something witha little more umph, because its not that big of a bike.

I'm about to buy a 1994 Honda Magna Motorcycle, but it has been in a crash, and had a new tank installed. As a result, there is a problem with the vent line. The guy who replaced the tank said he welded an extra vent port on it, and it worked perfectly for many years, but recently it stalled twice. As soon as he opened the gas tank to check the level, it ran normally again.
Is this a potentially a big issue? A safety issue? Expensive to repair? Should I buy the bike?
I don't even know what a vent tube or vent hose does!
I have an old Honda Trail 90. It needs rings. I live in Southern Utah. Can anyone recommend a reliable place where I can get the cylindar bored, and buy a new piston and rings to match the bore job.??
I am looking to buy a Honda VFR750, someone has one for sale locally, it is a 95, the bike looks very clean, its red in color, he said it has a small dent near the bottom of the tank, and the aftermarket muffler has rust, on it, it looks as though the front fender is a bit warped cause I think they're plastic, I have seen other vfr's with this. no other major dings in the paint, the bike has 54,000 miles, he said he would like to get 00 for it. I thought it seemed a bit high considering the milage, but I dont buy motorcycles so I dont know. I could fix the rust, and heat the front fender and straighten it, but the milage has me worried.
More info just emailed, it has a new rear tire last year, new front this year, clean title, but he stated it needs new mirrors cause the rubber on the old ones were falling apart, I see new racing mirrors on ebay for about , again, its the milage that has me worried.
Short, simple and to the point...
Do I have to be licensed to buy any type of motorcycle from lets say the Honda dealership before I can purchase a bike?
I am trying to buy a CBR600RR nothing more powerful...I was hoping to buy it and then have a friend help me take it home by putting it in their truck or car and then I can teach myself to ride it in our big empty parking lot at work.
EDIT: Ya, sorry I forgot to put extra details in...Don't worry I am taking the MSF Course either this Summer or Spring, because my friends told me it will save me a lot more money on insurance.
I am currently looking into buying a motorcycle (it's a 1964 Honda) and it is absolutely gorgeous, but the seller is saying that the timing chain has jumped a tooth. Is this a costly repair? or should I take it on...I do have a friend that is good with motorcycles so maybe the repair will be easier to do through him...
This model motorcycle was made from 1965 to 1968 and came in several different colors. It was also called a CL77
