The BMW F650GS I've had for 6 months was vandalised - someone broke the steering lock, bending the handlebars, drilled out the ignition, and then gave up - because it has a f***ing immobiliser.
Insurers have declared it 'beyond economical repair'.
I'm wondering what to do when they kick me in the balls with a low offer...
Should I take the money or ask nicely for more (threaten them with court)?
Also thinking I could buy the bike back and repair myself (doubt I will have the time, so could end up paying a mechanic to do it) or sell on to someone else to repair for themselves.
And the silver lining, what to buy next? I have a Divi 600 - love it, except the lack of ABS. The BMW was more comfy though. A Tracer 700 might be somewhere in between. Time to get out on a test ride ____________________

They finally agreed to £3700.
They're keeping the salvage.. no budge on price there.
Thanks for the advice ____________________
