Does financing a motorcycle cause insurance to go up?

I was going to get the Yamaha R6S, but I heard that if you don't have the pink slip for the bike and you get insurance, that they will charge you double for insurance or a lot more money. If thats the case then I'll just get a Kawasaki Ninja 250R, but I would really like a R6S. I just wanted to know if financing a motorcycle would cause insurance to go up?

Whether you own the bike or not doesn’t affect your premium, however, it may affect the coverage’s you are required to purchase. If you have a loan on the bike, the bank will require you insure the bike for comprehensive and collision coverage. These coverage’s are significantly higher than just liability only on a motorcycle policy.

Think of it this way, if you hit something with your bike, you probably won’t cause a lot of damage. However, if your bike goes down, it probably will be damaged. Therefore, to purchase liability on a motorcycle is typically inexpensive; whereas to purchase physical damage on your motorcycle is more costly.
