Default Where should i sell the salvage of my bike?any1 interested?

basically came off my bike when i swerved to avoid a stupid woman who pulled out in to side of me from a give way junction on my right

accident happened at 20mph max and i fell off and bike landed on its lhs.the insurance have written it off because the new cost of bike parts is astronomical a flippin speedo/clock console which must be whole unit is £625

basically there aint "much" damage.by that i mean nowt is physically broken.everythin is intact but lhs is scraped to fuck.under headlight and just on to rhs of nose are scraped too.bike runs and rode home but theres summat not quite right with steerin.nothin mega wrong but cant be certain.

i'm buying it back off the insurance and have had an offer of £700 from a local breakers.
where could i hope to get more for it or should i just accept it and be happy?

heres the bike pre accident:


no pics of damage but can take np if any1 would be interested.could make a nice cheap winter project for some1 or even to go racing engine done 19700miles and sweet as a nut

m8 shouldnt have claimed on your ins,,,if no one was hurt and no third party,,,fixed her yersell wid breakers bits,,,you live and learn,,,,,see if you can retract your claim,,,maybe,,sell her on ebay ,,,fix a reserve of say 750,,,anything above is a bonus,,take good pics and be honest,,,the forks prob bent or twisted,,,they can be fixed easy,,,plazzies can be welded,,or replaced breaker style,as can most parts,,,my busa was flipped and written off,,,,,the buggers ridin round essex now,,sold by carol nash,,,fixed by breaker parts,,,basstardo.

can take pics on sat m8 if ya want.wont see sunlight before then cos im at work.
its rideable of sorts cos me m8 rode it home from the accident.suspect steerin issues but dunno cos bike aint moved since the accident.
as i said the breakers have offered me 700 for the bike but i kept both cans for that to make another £100 so any offer has to be £800+ to make it worth the hassle.
lemme know yer thoughts.
