Odd question, can you have 2 seperate insurance policies at same time?

Any chance your current insurance company will leave the insurance running for you (on the new bike) on TPO or something? Something that will enable them to cover you in some form (since the bike will be at the dealers/home anyway?)?

I was told when I called that they will not insure the GSXR at all so I assume that means on any level of cover? I might give them another call to check if there are any other options?

It just seems safer than having the policy running on a bike you don't own...I think it might be a bit iffy doing that...worth investigating but I guess at the end of the day I'd probably leave it running if it was the only way (or maybe change it to an old banger - whatever's the cheapest I could find)

As long as you don't attempt to claim on the SV's insurance policy whilst it's not yours, no one will care.

I think you have hit the nail on the head, just rang the Ins co. to check where everything stands and apparantly there is no issue at all, as long as there is no claim on the SV then they recommend leaving the policy running (there would be a £45 fee to cancel) so in effect the best option is to leave things exactly as they are.

The issue with the new bike is also resolved, I took on board the comments on not taking the bike at p/ex time and have gone for the pay monthly insurance which i will run for 2 months then take a full year policy out.

So all looks fine in the end. Thanks for all the comments/advice/suggestions

Insure new bike to get it registered then use your "cooling off" period to cancel the insurance and get refund.Come to arrangement with dealer to look after bike until you are ready to take it away.
Or-----Buy pre registered bike from dealer with same storage arrangement?
