Was that Big_Ham's/Chris' bike by any chance? I think if the forks or frame are bent, then it's written off. But they will also write it off economically if it costs too much to replace parts. Still, you can always enjoy the bike sans plastic. Also makes it a bit more fun because you don't have the plastics to worry about and you have improved vision. In the end, having no plastics doesn't make it much less of a bike? Anyway chin up, least you had your first spill and hopefully only spill out of the way.

:Edit, it was pretty dark in the office and didn't pay too much attention to the front wheel! Such a shame:

Was it your fault?

90% sure that's a write off. New front wheel, rear panel, headlight stay, most likely headlight and top fairing.

Way more than the £1500? that's worth.

Unlucky mate. Hope it wasn't your fault and you can buy a nice 600 to replace it.

Is that true that if the forks are bent, then it`s a write off?

I wouldn`t have thought a set of re-claimed forks could be all that much.

Maybe i`m wrong though..

TBH new wheels + fairings maybe 500 quid all in?

If the quote for suzuki spares it'll be much more than that though.

Add on painting those skidmarx fairings, and labour for fitting, and the fitting of the wheel/parts.

I bet it goes way over the valuation.

got the headlight and bracket too fix which could be done. was leaking coolant as i think one of the hoses was split. was a great bike when it worked. forks seemed to work ok but depends if theyre twisted or anything

[ttr]

Is it just me or is the LHS front fork slightly buckled?

possibly mate. will see how things go. waiting to here if its goin to be a write off yet. a few mates have offered to buy it off me to streetfighter and things so will see what happens.

[palmer]

dibs on the rear shock

[21chappers]

well now had a letter from the solicitors. its a cat C write off as they estimate the damage to be nearly £3.5k which is rediculous but trying to get money out of them for it but will have to see.

You can get swish fairings on ebay sent over from china for a few hundred not sure how good they are but they look alright.

There are none on there ATM but I'm fairly sure I have seen this seller selling them.

It might be worth asking a few people that have bought them what they are like.
