why dont u just call the insurance agencies and ask them......we dont know what they gonna qoute you with, everyone is different for some odd reason. i did have geico but statefarm was way cheaper for me(because i knew the insurance agency guy personally) but thats irrevlant to obsolute shit because as i said before everyones different..so call and find out...and dont use internet, over the phone or in person they always try to find u discounts. and yea they will insure you...if they see u as a risk they just gonna jack u da fuk up

More than likely without a permit or license they will not insure you. State Farm asks if you have a license and photo-copies it.

I'm not sure how old you are, but why don't you go take the MSF and get a license if you're interesting in motorcycling?

He's looking at around 300 per year. I was just in that situation.

IIRC, State Farm doesn't do liability alone.
