I didn't know that State Farm would insure bikes.  A lot of auto insurers
will not - for example, my auto carrier is Prudential and they don't cover
bikes.

Which company is best for you depends on your bike.  I insure with Progressive
under their "big bike" plan (I have a BMW R100CS). It turns out that BMWs
are in a better risk category than almost anything else - got me why, they
sure are pricey.  Anyhow, I can insure for considerably less than if I had
a much smaller, non-BMW.
