Lots of vaariables in insurance rates. Make sure you are comparing apples to apples.
Some variables:
Insurance company
Driving record
Deductables and coveraage limits
Zip code
Age
Credit score
Type of M/C and engine size
Extras included in coverage such as chrome, exhaust, custom paint, wheels,etc...

Many states require rates based on engine cc's, which is one of the variables mentioned by jmpancoast.
I used to be an underwriter for a major insurance company who I will not name but who's logo may or may not resemble a large female statue holding a torch above her head... And in both the voluntary and involuntary market cc's was one of the main modifiers.
Seeing how much yours increased in price, and given you went up 400cc's in engine size that may be what is hitting you the hardest.

Thanks guys for the quick replies. Looks like I am about average. I do realize that there are many varables when it comes to insurance. I am going to stick to what I have since I have my homeoweners with this same company and they have given me a discount on my bike. My agent checked two other companys today for lower rates. One was over $900 and the other was over $800. It is looking like the $486 is not all that bad. Again, I thank all of you.
