I think that the cc rating for insurance has changed. I know a few people that got bigger bikes 750cc + and pay less than if they would have bought a 600cc bike. The biggest reason is that the 600s are affordable for the 20 somethings and there are SO many of them. There are also a ton of pay offs due to accidents etc. Shop around for an insurance company that has a small customer base for that size of bike and that has not had alot of pay outs for claims and the insurance will be pretty low. I priced insurance for a paid for XR650L street and trail and it was $65.00 for the entire year. ---

When I had nationwide who ever they go through for bike insurance was cheap when I was gonna get a ninja 636R. They quoted me at 11.38 a month for full coverage. That was a steal to me being 20 at the time. ---
