Talking insurance & motorcycle payments

I'm 24 and im making payments on my motorcycle. Insurance is killing me since I need to have full coverage. My question is. Can I have my parents put the bike under their insurance even though the bikes loan is on my name?

Thanks

when I was 19, the insurance killed me to so my solution was borrow the money from a family member to pay it off, set up an allotment to them for what the payment would of been if I stayed with the bank, then went to a broker and got liability insurance. made my payment go from 7k (on a 5.5k bike!) a year to 18/month! I think the company was arrowhead.

Shouldn't really buy things you can't afford.

I bought my first bike with a personal loan, not a vehicle loan. I wasn't required to have insurance for a personal loan. Maybe you could pay off the bike loan with a personal loan and then drop the collision coverage.
