Answers:
While it's always worth trying to haggle, I'm afraid they are well in their rights.

Your contract will tell you about the excess which you agreed to when you signed the contract, although the bike is insured for it's purchase price, it's actual utility starts falling from the day you bought it, this is what insurance companies pay out unless you seize a policy of new for new. Source(s): More bikes and cars insured than I can count.
Many motor policies own a clause that states that if the bike is less than a year old they will earnings the full price of a brand new bike. Check it out.
