Don't get it cut from the tank lock - it only uses the lower few tumblers so the key will be incomplete and won't operate the ignition lock. Remove the ignition and find a locksmith who will cut from that.
Is the steering lock engaged? If yes then:
Remove whatever parts are in the way, (dependant on whether yours is faired or not), and remove the stem nut and loosen the upper yoke clamps, then remove the lock screws, (the only slight complication is that you'll need a security Torx bit to turn the screws), and lift the yoke away from the stem before trying to displace the lock.
If the steering lock is not set, you can sometimes remove the lock bolts and wiggle it out of place without disturbing the upper yoke.

your location might help, there is a brilliant one down in Orpington will cut from the lock while you wait.

Long shot, but you haven't got the original rider's handbook with the lock number written in it?
