That’s expensive... what age are you? How long have you been riding?

1 years riding experience, at my current address I can get insured for around £800, I move house in a month or so - I did a quote at my new address and it almost doubled in price..

Try Bemoto or Aquote for insurance , they've been good for me . I've never done this but you can set your excess really high which brings down your policy a lot and then take out a seperate insurance for the excess for a lot less than you've saved on the higher excess .
It pays to shop around a lot for insurance

I'm struggling to get insurance on the R1M - Plan B is to buy another R6, something a little newer this time - I'm thinking a 2017 reg?

I'll keep that for another year or 2 & then hopefully my insurance would have dropped by then.
