Umm no! The demographics of a Ducati rider actually makes Ducati's a lot cheaper to insure versus the Japanese counter parts. For example on a brand new 999 I'm 325 dollars a year with full coverage and a 250 deductable and on a R1, GSXR, ZX10R or CBR I would be over 1200 a year! And my deductables would be 1000! (I'm 40, married, 2 kids, house, cars, cat, goldfish, etc). When I asked why my agent why he told me that high end bikes simply are destroyed like the Japanese bikes. The day I got my Duc he told me that a "young" Client of his picked up a GSXR and didn't even make it home before he total it. He quoted him 4k a year and this kid still bought it. I can not imagine paying 330 a month to ride a bike..
