Might Be About Time For My Second Bike

CB650R owner. I bought used 2021 updated model used for around 6500. Very good price imo.
If new the xsr900 / MT09 seems good.
Would you be open to a zx4rr ? 16k small bore four sounds very nice on paper. Stateside zx4rr supposedly NEEDS a tune.

To be honest, I still don't know most bike models. I'm not sure what a ZX4RR is. I'm assuming it's a sport bike. I'm looking more for a street/naked bike right now with an upright riding position. I got insurance quotes back for all six VINs that I submitted. For full coverage with decent deductibles, I got
1. 2025 Yamaha XSR700 $330.50
2. 2025 Yamaha MT-07 $330.50
3. 2025 Yamaha XSR900 $425.76
4. 2025 Yamaha MT-09 $425.76
5. 2025 Triumph Trident 660 $330.50
6. 2025 Triumph Street Triple 765R $425.76

I haven't test ridden any of the bikes yet but I'm hoping to before too long. I'm planning to save up a bit more and then maybe later in the year, I'll have my second bike:D
 
Are those insurance quotes per year?

Also, pillion?

No way those are annual numbers for full coverage and 2025's are gonna need it.
If those numbers are monthly I'll be right back. I'll be in my garage kissing my SV.
 
You know, at first I had thought that they were annual premiums as when I originally got my quotes from a different agent, she had given me yearly premiums and when I paid, I paid for the whole year. Because of that, I was thinking that these may be annual quotes but they have to be six month quotes. I did reply to the agent via email but that was after hours so I won't hear back from her until tomorrow at the earliest.
I'm no closer to deciding which bike I want. I'm hoping to be able to do a couple test rides in the next couple weeks.
 
Just got an email from the/my agent and apparently those are for the year. It's the same coverage that I have on my DR650 and while I don't have every single thing you can have, it's still good coverage and I am totally

right now!
