I would leave it standard for a while. Insurance is a bitch and you will get ass raped no matter who you go to as a young male driver.

Have you tried adding some secuirity? It may be the ease at which it is stolen that is pushing it up. Also have you tried fully comp or tpft? When I worked in insurance fully comp was sometimes much cheaper or visa versa.

Try fitting cat 1 immobiliser. That should attract a saving, but you need to consider the cost of installation in your figures. Costs for insurance have shot up mostly cos of the injury compensation culture.
