Out of my house when i was returning home an idiot old men in car came from the right without check anythink a steer right to avoid him and he stops in front of me i braked too hard bad there was a metal plate on the road (a bit large) and felt, I crawled 'till his car with the bike on me. i stoped with my head under his wheel .
AND YES I JUST STAND UP AFTER THAT!!! i said it's ok don't call anyone ;)
But he did :P 2 weeks in bed with colar and can't walk but nothing broken on me...

So now my question. Repair the bike or not? Possibility of warped frame?
Sorry for my english...

To determine if it's worth fixing, tear it apart and make a list of everything thats needing replacement. Make sure to inspect the frame closely. From there, you can search out and price how much you are looking at to repair it.

I'm not sure of the parts availability or prices in Italy, but I would guess that it will cost more than you could get another bike for to fix. If you could pick up another F3, you would have a bunch of those hard to find parts in hand. Maybe even find one needing some of the parts you already have.

If you get something else, part it out and get most of the money back you put into a new bike.

Thank you for the reply.
I was thinking to do this exactly.
But to take back my bie i have to pay a lot... 300 euro and i can find an other on 500-800 euro so become harder to choose. Th only think is that i love my bike.
But if i buy an other (is hard to find cbr f3 that worth thr money and don't have problems) i am thinking for a f4i or r6.
What do you say?

Buy your bike back? Only if you can sell or use the parts. Otherwise, upgrade!

I loved my old bike too, until I got my new one.:) Now I love this one. Someday, I will love a 1000rr!

Ouch
 
That sounds quite painful, glad you are OK for the most part, i agree with 74, take apart the front and see if you can get all the parts that are damaged, F3 parts are not that hard to come by but since you are not in the states you might have to wait a little longer for parts than in the states. To throw a guess out there, and the frame is not bent, i would stay probably around $750 - $850 in damages, and that is if the console is still useable. Now if you were going to part it out, then you probably could make your money back, i would totally grab some parts :P
