Thanks, and sorry to digress.
When I was shopping for a new motorcycle I narrowed it down to a Yamaha R6 and a Ducati 848. When I got insurance quotes the R6 was more expensive, even though the 848 costs more (not to mention it costs more to repair). The explanation I received was that the R6 is more popular and has more "incidents of claims" than the Ducati.

Go figure.
