How much insurance do you pay?

So how much insurance do you guys pay for the GZ250. As Iv said before sometime in Jan I play to get a Virago 250 so I wan't to know the range or so of insurance for the 250 bikes.

Not just basic insurance though I want full theft protection.

(In the last month 4 motorcycles have been stolen from my college campus. Mostly 600 & 1100cc sports bikes but still one can never be to sure. If I am going to spend my savings of almost 3 years on this I better make sure its well protected. Id also like to know if its a ridiculous amount something like $500 a year would be insane for a $3000 motorcycle. If that was the case I would honestly rather not buy anything and just keep driving a car. I pay $600 a year for my 1996 Camaro full coverage been driving for 3 years no accidents.

I also want to know if you need to pay insurance if you just have the motorcycle sitting in your house. I know a lot of people don't ride their bikes all year long especially in the winter. It seems like a waist to have to pay insurance all year long if you don't plan to ride that long.

I plan to buy the bike in Jan-Feb but I probably won't actually ride it until May so I don't wan't to have to pay insurance for something I'm not going to use.
