Swapping the R6 for an FZR1000???

[R1stu]

Take a look at this > https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4544053995&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

I have been after a new bike for ages and have been looking at the FZR1000 as a cheep 1l bike!

He as said that he will do a straight swap for my R6! Shall I do this and forget the insurance as its not getting anywhere because the 3rd party’s insurance doesn’t tally.

Or shall I wait for insurance, if they pay out buy the bike back and then sell it / buy new bike!

What are your thoughts?

If you have claimed then technically the bike isn't yours to sell.
Anyway I reckon your R6 is probably worth more than the £1500 the guy is expecting for his nigh on 20 year old bike. Don't do it

Hi

Personally do not touch it with a barge pole. I would say an older FZR1000 like that would be worth £1200 tops, and that one has a 916 style seat bodged on and after market paint. You can get an FZR1000 Exup for £1500 very easily which would be rather more powerful (and the old Genesis is a fair way short of the 130hp claimed).

Other thing is it claims to have a 6 speed gearbox. If it has then it is either a 750 or has had the engine torn down to fit a 750 gearbox (the 1000 had a 5 speed box).

Selling the R6 could make the claim difficult, and if the other driver is being a real pain then consider just spending £35 or so on taking them to the small claims court (them, not their insurance company). Might kick them into doing something.

If you did want to sell the R6 then consider how much Goose got for his when it was written off and could not go back on the road.

All the best
