If someone already has insurance on it, then you need to get covered under thier insurance, or you need to add it to your insurance/any vehicle insurance.

Yes you can get insurance on someone else's bike. It doesn't have to be on your own policy.

Some insurers may request it's registered in your name, but not all.

There is no problem having two sets of insurance for one vehicle; though ideally they shouldn't 'conflict' - ie you shouldn't be in a situation you can claim on either.
