Laid up bike insurance

[wiliferus]

After recommendations... have bought a new bike, and the old bike hasn’t sold yet. Working on the basis it might not sell till the new year, I want to SORN it. It’s £4K worth of bike so don’t want to leave it uninsured.
Can one recommend a company for laid up insurance as google has thrown up a few companies I’ve not heard of and their websites are cack.

TIA

I've asked before but most insurance is so cheap that it isn't worth companies offering it.

How old is the bike?

2013. I did consider doing third party fire and theft, is that the way forward?

And with regards the DVLA, I know you can’t have a bike that’s taxed but not insured as they’ll get you through the Continuous insurance rules... but can you have a bike that’s insured but not taxed? Don’t want to get stung.

It would make sense if you aren't going to ride it anywhere.
