Brian,
The difference in insurance between me running a Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa or a Yamaha YZF-R6 was, literally, $105 a year.
I kid you not. It was the difference between $610 yearly for a Hayabusa or $505 yearly for a Yamaha YZF-600R, including all taxes and crap.
Move to Alberta and you can plant your own money tree. 
Admittedly, the bike is cheap as hell. Financing it, I'm only paying $158 a month taxes included.
I wanted yellow/black so badly, but good luck finding a race jacket in yellow and black. I found a helmet that would have been killer, but no race jacket and sadly, no yellow/black bikes either. :\

You just got a new house, a new jeep, and now a new bike?
Can I have a few seeds from that money tree?

I'm going with either Team Yamaha blue or Red.
