Wow.

Thanks for all the replies, guys!  Had several people e-mail me privately
with more local info including a strong dealer recommendation.

You meet the nicest people on a Triumph.  :)

I did some checking on Progressive's website.  Not sure if they are very
high or there is a conspiracy against me.  I got the following rates for 12
months and this is with the *highest* comp/collision deductible!($1000):

ST- $1829/yr.
Ducati and BMW were the same as above.  Surprising.  Seems they just grouped
'tour bikes' or something.

Bandit- $1503/yr

VFR- $3186!   I won't even consider the VFR at all.

For curiosity I checked the VMAX..surprisingly it's just $1483/yr.  Odd.

Also checked Harley...$2266/yr.

And here's the kicker...the CBR1100 $5532/yr!!!!!!!!!!

I don't really get why it's so high.  These rates include the MSF Saftey
Course reduction and Alarm and garage/enclosure.  I used the same data for
each model...just changed bikes and made sure the cc's were correct.

You guys gave some good reasons for picking the ST over the competition.
I'd probably come to the same conclusions.  But the insurance seems to be a
big chunk of change.  I hope the rate quotes were artificially high for some
reason I can get around.

Well, I'll stick around and lurk a while.  You guys have a ball riding- not
that you need someone to tell you that.
