Yeah it's group 15 according to the guy in the shop so I guessed it would be a lot more than what i'm paying on the SV. Did two online quotes and played around with the details a bit and got the prices down to 700 ish but I know I can get better than that if I play around.

What's the deal with new bikes and insurance though, does it have to be fully comp on a new bike? or does vary between companies?
The guy at Harley insurance said it had to be fully comp on a machine worth over £5k but I don't know if that was just their policy.

Hoping it wont be bought on finance. Would probably get a loan for it if I had to go that route so in effect I would have paid in cash at the shop and i'd get a better APR.
I have never had Fully Comp insurance either but then again i've never had a new car or bike before

Doubt I could afford to insure it if I had to get fully comp, that's why I was wondering
