So living in London, my insurance was already high enough at �600 last year (first year insuring in the UK / French license), but the auto policy renewal this year has charged me just over �1000 through Bennets.

This is for a 2009 XT660X with Akrapovics attached.
What are people usually paying in London for a bike like this?

I know if I change my license over to a UK one, then the quote goes down to �700.... but then I can't use my passport for 4 weeks so kind of stuck till after the bank holidays.

If I fit the the Power commander I have, it essentially makes me uninsurable.

Not even sure what the question is here. Just thought I'd ***** about it.
