You can't take the insurance off the bike is it financed. Some insurance companies will allow you to do a comprehensive deal. Where you do 6 months on and 6 months off type of deal. It goes from full coverage to storage insurance. Thats what I have with both my bike and my ta.

Try them for insurance. They were the cheapest I found when I used to ride, and they use kemper which is a good company. I had to make a claim with them and I had no problems.
