Good point but with them footing the bill...what about a slightly used/left over 1098? Or the RC8? I don't know but if they're giving you full retail for your bike,I bet you could get a huge deal on an '08 WHATEVER right now!!!

Those are out of the question. I would never find a leftover 848 let alone a 1098 for the price of an 09 gixxer. RC8? that's an 09 and it would even be close.

Doesn't matter to me, I wont buy it back anyway, but come on $9700 worth of damage? I find it hard to believe. But oh well...... That is the insurance companies problem now and not mine.

Oh another good thing is that if I get another bike, they cover the replacement value, so I can get an 09 or left over 08 for free. Otherwise if I just cash out, it just a check for market value of my old bike.

DUDE. you get your bike back and 7300 bucks in your pocket and you're not considering that?

Jesus, you can buy track plastics and an exhaust and some wheels off the WERA boards for cheap, then buy a 2-3 year old 600SS for five grand for the street, and still have money for a track day or two left over. If you go with a replacement, you have a 2 year newer bike but so what? This is the perfect opportunity to expand your stable.

Epic win.

9700 was that amount of damage not what I'm getting back. Market value of the bike is $9022.40 - my $500 ineluctable.

So $8500 - $2400 = 6100 - about $2500 to get it track ready, leaves me about $3600 for a street bike. Interesting angle.

Wow that's a steal for an 08 848.

About the interesting angle. Yeah, you would be left with $3,600, but if you put that as a down payment on another bike, you'll have a small monthly payment on a new or newer bike, right? So you would end up with a proper street bike that you'll be paying on and have a lethal track bike that's paid for. What are you waiting for??

Whoa now you said they would give you "replacement" value if you buy a new bike. I doubt that you HAVE tyo buy the same EXACT bike,just a new one...in fact,I bet it'll be one of those deals where they cut a check to you and the dealership BUT once the check is cut,what you buy is up to you.
