Anyone know anything about it?
My insurance company has just offered me my bike back at £480 salvage. Can I make some money on it or not?
Details as follows:
Mileage: 18500
Kawsaki ZX6-R in Green
Standard Can
Braided Lines + Double Bubble
Pre-accident valued at £2850
Good general condition pre-accident.
Damage:
Dropped onto N/S
N/S hanger broke but now replaced
N/S indicator missing
N/S Upper and lower fairing scuffed and cracked
N/S Engine casing scraped [but not holed]
Bar end scraped
Wing Mirror scraped
N/S rear fairing scraped + grab handle scraped
** Rear Sub – Frame [seat/rear fairing/lights etc…] out of line with the rear wheel **
** Clocks & Front Fairing out of line with front of bike **

Yes mate,advertise it privately and it will piss out the door mate....
I think it will make at least a grand and at that price someone is getting a cheap bike for a little bit of effort tidying it up...
I`ve not long sold an R6 with similar damage for £1200.....

Someone will buy it for a track bike if it can't go back on the road.
Have you still got the V5 or has it been written off ? I guess the later..
Deffo some money in though even if it can't go back on the road.

I do still have the V5.....it is deemed beyond economical repair so I would imagine it'll be going on a Cat D so it can be repaired and go back on the road.
Anyway....my question has been answered......but it back and stick the engine in a go-kart
