At the end of the day its got to be insured by next Friday at the latest

Yeah, it's not good I agree.

Mine jumped from just over £100 a year for the 748 to nearly £400 when I bought the Hypermotard and moved to a dual policy. Luckily it's down to just over £200 now with Ducati Insurance, most likely as the value of the Hyper decreases and other factors mentioned come in to play.

Unfortunately you'll just have to pay it seems!

If it's down to the money alone, is it worth checking a six-month policy and then trying again after? Prices might have come down by then? Just be careful you don't screw yourself over with NCB, etc.
