In Manitoba the process is very similar to BC and is also government insurance. Here it's called Manitoba Public Insurance MPI and can be issued by any Autopac agent. You can calculate your insurance cost quickly here:

Be prepared for a shock as Manitoba motorcycle insurance is incredibly expensive. Insurance cost is primarily based on the style of motorcycle. Cruisers being the cheapest and sport bikes being the most expensive. Dual purpose and touring fall somewhere in the middle. Then to a lesser extent if it's under 500cc, between 500 - 1000cc and then above 1000cc. The year, value and horsepower surprisingly are all irrelevant to the insurance cost.
An older 125cc sport bikes will likely have higher insurance than a brand new Harley. It may well exceed the motorcycle value for a single year of insurance. I've seen sport bike insurance in excess of $3500 per year.
