New member, from New Jersey & insurance ?

[BobL]

Hey everyone. Been lurking around here for some time, and been debating back and forth for over a year on which bike to purchase. I had been leaning towards the Brozz 250, and after seeing the video from Attention Deficit, that just sealed the deal. Ordered the bike on Monday 10/7. Was delivered to my house on Thursday morning 10/10. Assembled it that Sunday. Now, I had thought registering it was going to be the issue, but I had that done in 40 minutes (including the 30 minutes I sat there waiting to be called upon). Insurance is more of an issue (so far). I have always dealt with Allstate. They originally quoted me $115, but I noticed the quote said 'off road'. When I questioned that, they said they had problems finding the bike, and thought it was a four wheeler. When I told them it was a dual sport, and already registered, they then asked if it was a "kit". I guess my mistake was responding yes. They then said they couldn't insure it. Now, I haven't given up with them as yet, but curious who here is in New Jersey, and who do you use for insurance? If you have a Brozz, even better. Thanks. BobL.

Not NJ, Ohio... You might try Progressive.

Welcome to here! Do not live in NJ, so cannot help you directly, but wanted to welcome you and for all it's worth, I use Geico.

Congrats on the new bike! I had the same issue with State Farm, I made the same mistake of telling them I had to do the final assembly. I argued that even the dealers have to assemble the bikes as they are shipped to them in a crate too, so what's the difference. They had to review it and after a little bit they approved it. Good luck with it, I would think a big company like Allstate will approve it too.
