I just had to pay my insurance for my Evo it came to $1604 for a year. Im 22 and have no 'no claims bonus' as interestingly where I live they do not take 'no claims' into account.
Before I bought my evo i used to drive a Hyundai tiburon (2.0 4cyl) and that used to cost me $140 a year! (when i was 18 years old) Was shocked when i got quoted so high for the Evo, but its as we all know its worth it!

HIGH?!? i would love 1604 for just 6 months, bro my premium was 2600 for 6 months.
then again i have 3 totaled cars on my record since 2005 but odd thing is all were at or under 35 mph.... and only one the first being my fault (2005)

Maybe we should all drive our cars real easy and slow for a year to drop it back down.

The older I get I find myself less and less impulsive. I ride bikes too, and it takes maturity to still ride sport bikes for the last 35 years. The EVO's like a four wheel bike, hella fun to drive but you have to choose the time and place to let her loose!! I drive like a old man most of the time so as not to be pulled over and hassled all the time, same goes with my bikes. Works for me!! No tickets!!!!!!!!!!! 
Or accidents!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeh i suppose to some places that is kinda cheap, but in comparison to what i used to pay for my tiburon its more than 10x the price! insurance where i live is usually very very cheap!

When I first got my X (MY08) it was cheaper than my MY05 VIII... then 6 months later the rate jumped something stupid like an additional $60/mo.
I think it has something to do with the lack of data on a new model year (even though the MY11 is the same as the MY08/MY10), and then as more data comes in (people begin to stuff their cars), the price gets adjusted upward. but I'm not an actuary, so YMMV.

also... gentlemen... if you are married, it is typically cheaper to list your wife as the primary driver on your Evo (unless your wife drives an Evo, too). yes, this is legit/legal... my agent actually suggested it.
we have 3 cars(that run/are insured):
'08 Evo X(my car): wife as primary driver
'99 Saab 9-3 Viggen(wife's car): "weekend" car status
'84 VW Rabbit (my beater): me as primary driver
still pay about $250/mo :-/... (it should be noted I have a total loss claim, 1 ticket and the wife has 1 ticket as well)
