You know I have State Farm for all of my cars, home and my motorhome. The reason I went with Progressive on the bikes is because I could do it over the phone and since I trade often that mattered. I found this out at Twiggs in MD. Couldn't take the bike without proof of insurance and state farm was unable to do this on a week end. Progressive and one other company would do it over the phone and on the spot. This may have changed it was a least a couple years ago.
As to price is there really a significant difference if you are comparing apples to apples?
If you watch TV at all EVERY insurance company is advertising cheaper rates. I am skeptical at the best. I do believe there deals to get a fellow to sign up but when the dust settles how much difference is there. Progressive claims they are the largest insurer of motorcycles. That true? If so why? And having been insured with Progressive and NOT had any claims I am getting a little better rate with them.
It's a muddy playing field for sure. A fellow probably should shop insurance every year if you are interested in the absolute best price. I tend to stay with known companies thinking (correctly or not that if I have a claim they might be better)
Pretty much like directv and dish. They'll give you a deal to sign on the line but from my experience having both it ends up the same down the road a piece.
Not saying I am correct necessarily just that I am skeptical of insurance and insurance deals especially.
