i just recently wrecked my 07 600rr cuz some retarded lady came to a complete stop to comit a illegel uturn while i was riding with some of my buddies. It looks as if its only cosmetic but the ppl at the shop told me my frame mite be damaged cuz the handle bars are turning more than usual. so if it is totaled, what is the salvage value of it? or im basically screwed with a brand new bike that only has 1000 miles?

 

What does your insurance company say? They're the ones that'll tell you what the salvage value is if it can't be fixed.

Would like to hear more details of the accident ie How did her coming to a complete stop (illegal turn or not) cause you to wreck your bike? What did the cops say?

 

THAT SUCKS.. I got gap insurance just for that.. so im not out my total cost... At least i hope it will cover... Good luck with the insurance co.. Who do you have??

 

Sorry about the damage, but always leave enough room to stop no matter what. Ride safe.

 

was is it a front collission?
first, take off the fairing yourself and inspect the bike yourself.
you should really fix the bike yourself always before reporting it to insurance company always. the shop is gonna say you have 5grand in damage, the insurance company will pay up and then you will have yourself a nice salvaged title for a brand new bike. due to that salvaged title you will sell your bike for minimum of 1000-1500 bucks less (going by NYC local rate). so first come up with some opnions then decide which way you will loose the least. good to know that you were not harmed

 

wel as of the story. basically we were riding in a pack of 6 in stagger formation on a highway that has a speed limite of 50 mph. so we were behind this accord and u know how usually u basically all up on its *** cuz it was a busy traffic road. and she decided to slam on ther brakes to try to make a uturn in the middle of the road. so she was turning towards the left and the guy who was the first inline started skidding and try to go in the crack on the left but since she started turing to the left he hit her on thebakand the guy behind him ran into him. while i was the 4th in the pack so the 2nd guy who was infront of me actually swerve right a lil and was able to not hit her but i was behind him and all my **** locked and i had no where to go so i basicaly ran into the right of his brand new r1 and i basically ripped this subframe apart. and the thing is she got ticketed andthe cop said she was at fault but insurnace company said its our faultcuz in the state of va ur suppose to leavefollowing distance so if anyone stops for any reason u shold be able tocome to a complete stop. and i only haveliabilityon my bike cuz comprehensive would be 6gs a year so i miteas well buy a new bike. so im basically stuck with the bill to my bike and my insurance is actually gona pay for myfriends r1. but wahever i guess i could learnhow to take apart m bike and replace the frame if it is damaged i guess.

How the hell can insurance be 6,000 a year? I pay $24.00 a month full coverage with 250 deductables.

 

how can you only carry liability on an 07 did you pay cash?? I thought if it was financed you had to carry full coverage?? Thats why i carry full and gap..
