I got my learners in November and I'm just getting round to buying my first bike. A problem that I'm seeing is that it is waaaayyyy more expensive to insure your bike if you're on your learners. The bike is only worth about $2000 and the cheapest insurance I've found so far is about $400 per year with swann. State doesn't insure learners and AA said don't even bother asking for a quote. Can anyone reccomend a company that I can insure with that has cheap 3rd party theft and fire.

Should be about $250 for 3rd party fire and theft. About $400 for full insurance.

Go for NAC. They are the cheapest for me anyway. Just because you've got a 6L doesn't mean that you have to pay a lot for insurance. When I got my 6R, I notified NAC and they reduced the excess but not the premiums (maybe something to do with the fact that I crashed my car during that year, which NAC also insure).

They certainly make it tough for you to try and do the right thing!

My learner bike was the same value, I insured with State and it was the same price. I am over 25.
