Just rang and got a quote from QBE which have been the cheapest so far:
I am the sole rider of the bike, 47, good insurance rating, locked garage, 10,00kms per year
they quoted me $955 with $4k worth of gear cover.
I also rang Swann insurance and they quoted me $2285
Insure My Ride doesnt have the 2014 Panigale 899 listed as yet, they are adding it to their database and i will check again in a few days
the 2014 848 EVO Corse Edition came out at $715 for me so i figure the 899 will be a similar price.
cheers
