Bike insurance and other advice

[LFNE]

To start I am 19.

I like to plan in advance and I'm looking at bikes to get once I have passed my A2 as the cost of everything is something I like to plan for (biking can be expensive as s***)

I think I have my heart set on a Honda CB500f but the insurance quotes I am getting from sites like ''the bike insurer'' can be worth more than the bike itself!

Is there any good places to look for insurance and the like for my age group??

Any input on bike suggestions would be good as well.

Cheers.

Depends on your location, if you’re inside the M25 or near any major city centre, with no garage you may be a bit stuffed.

Does it have to be a new bike? Maybe look as a second hand one?

Live up North, near Newcastle a couple miles out so there is definitely garages. I am not opposed to going a bit out of the way to pick one up/look either.

New or second hand isnt really a problem. Tbh I liked the look of the CB500f and naked bikes are kind of what I have been leaning to whenever I have searched around.

Get off the generic internet comparison sites and look for a local broker, I've just insured two bikes for £200 (I am in my thirties however)

A bit of old fashioned face to face is always beneficial and if anything should go wrong popping in to a branch will give you much better customer service.
