Brand new bike insurance uk

[929rider]

Hi all. So I'm looking at getting a 2019 honda fireblade 1000rr.
Had a quick look in the usual insurance comparison sites and it's coming up with £1500 +

Are then any companies that focus on brand new vehicles?

A bit about me:

Full UK license
3 years no claims
Current bike is a 929 that I pay about £200 to insure.

Both the 929 and the new 2019 blade fall into the same insurance bracket. [/u]

Brand new bike insurance generally smacks you in the face during the first year. I got mine down to less than £400 fully comp but I did have to raise the combined excess to £500

I was quoted £100000 for my S1000RR first time.
Got cover from MCE for £350 though.

See if the dealer can cut you any slack or do a deal on it. Some manufacturers have deals going with insurers.

Let them know it's a deal-breaker. You can afford to buy the bike but that the insurance loading is 800% what you're currently paying and you'll have to walk away and buy something else/second hand.
