gymwitch Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Would it be worth buying my bike back from the insurers and selling it privately. Talking to other bikers they are saying its what they did? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I payed 200 quid to buy it back and the repairs cost 400 or so but I had already been paid out by the insurance so I used that money to repair it, this was the first accident I had on my old ninja 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howcmuch was it to buy it back? will be recorded cat n or s , so wont be worth as much as a straight bike once you repair it, need to buy it back for as little as you can , then you got what you will have to spend on it .... is it worth doing ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I agree with @Six30 . If you really like the bike and want to keep it fair enough but replacement parts would make it expensive to repair and move on for any profit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymwitch Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 I dont think I'll bother. Cant find any to cimpare prices etc... dont know if fork is bent and they are a fortune to replace. Clutch cover is broken. Brake lever is broken. Body work is scratched up. I think thereis a chunk out if tft screen. Puig screen is broken too.

Catteeclan Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Forks can be rolled, clutch cover if not available can be repaired, there's some great liquid/instant metals out there. Brake levers are very cheap. If you like the bike do the plastics have to be perfect? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckster Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Depending on the bike it can be worth buying back and parting it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
