    Well after meeting the twat in the van last week my insurance have written my bike off ,so I asked how much to buy it back? They told me £1,050 it has the following!

    Dented/ bent frame
    Dented tank
    Bent fork
    Bent wheel
    Cracked caliper
    Broken headlights
    Knackered complete fairing

    Why so much to buy back when so much of it is knackered? Or is that not to expensive? On the plus side its new bike time in a couple of weeks

    The engine won't be worth much less than that to be honest.

    Also depends on how bent the frame is. It could well do as a track bike ;)

    Any pics of the bike after the crash?
