Billmeek: That's amazing. Here in Arizona State Farm is more than twice as much as Progressive. Further, the agent I talked to said SF really doesn't like insuring motorcycles/scooters.
Recently a couple of teenybops ran into the rear of my girlfriend's car (unfortunately I was driving it. Sitting still at the time in a line of cars, unfortunately again, I was the last car in the line). The girls had Progressive. I called them and got no argument and a check in the mail two days later. My girlfriend wondered why I couldn't have been driving on some other street. Delicate matter, this.
My 650's full coverage with Progessive is about $100 per year.
Anyway, GEICO is the evil empire. Years ago they funded research into police radar, helped set up the point system, and profited obscenely by raising your rates every time you got a ticket. Road & Track - or Car & Driver - I forget which, did a well researched expose of them a number of years ago about this. Also, they spend a ton of money on advertising, which may have some relationship to their high rates.
