No, quite the contrary, it is super-easy for a bona-fide tourist to get liability coverage (a 'Green Card') for a vehicle that is registered in a country outside of the EC.
I live in Canada, and often ride my Canadian-plated bike in Europe. There is a very well-established system for permitting tourists to temporarily insure - for touristic purposes - vehicles registered outside of the EC.
In the case of Starlucker, he could get the insurance coverage either at the first entry point into the EC (there are typically insurance kiosks at such border crossings), or he could arrange it in advance with a provider in any EC country and have the green card mailed to him.
The Bulgarian insurance provider you refer to is MotoCamp Bulgaria, their website is www.motosapiens.org.

PS: But, having said all that, I agree with you that insurance isn't going to be the problem, importing a Japanese market motorcycle into Germany and passing the TUV examination to get a licence plate is going to be the insurmountable barrier.
