Aussie bought a bike in Ireland, he is now looking for insurance when he comes to Ireland to tour Europe. Any suggestions, He was onto Motosapian in Bulgaria but they will only insure a bike that is registered outside the EU.

No because he hasn't an Irish licence, The bike is registered in Ireland but his licence is Australian.
The guy in Motofeirme in Kinsale is trying to sort it for him.

Can he just exchange his Australian licence for an Irish one ?

If you are a holder of a licence issued by one of the above states you can drive in Ireland when visiting, providing your licence is valid. If you become normally resident in Ireland, you can drive for up to 12 months from the date of becoming resident, as long as your licence has not expired.
