Got an estimate a little while ago from my highside...........$8600 in parts alone, not even counting labor. I had to ask the service manager again just to make sure I heard him right the first time. I was expecting like $4k or approx in parts, but not more than the bike is worth! These were of course honda parts and prices too, but $8k!

 

so what are they going to cut you a check for?

 

Don't know yet...they're going to send an adjuster out to the dealer to look at a copy of the estimate and the bike.

 

thought so...

 

yikes! 8600 bones could buy quite a nice bike though... I hope you get close to that. I'm not exactly sure how insurance payments work but... good luck!

 

[sm=jawdrop.gif] Wow .. good luck bro

 

Sorry man, be sure and ask the adjustor what his fee is... as I believe it will come right off the top of the offerd settlement. It was 100$ for me 20 yrs ago... and no, they never told me up front (before) the actual check. I'll bet it more now. Sneeky.

Dwight,
My hunch is you knew that would happen, yes? I hope the insurance company treats you fair because it seems like it is their job NOT to. If there are two silver linings the first is...you came out sore but alive and two...at least it's not the beginning of the riding season. Which color RR are you gonna get?

 

How do you get 8600 in parts?....without any labor....?...how

 

Well, i guess when it is not on an esembly (ugh, looks spelled wrong, but i'm too lazy to look it up) line the parts are more expensive. I agree it sounds crazy when a new bike costs around 9k and they probably dont have to replace EVERYTHING, but the 9k bikes have cost cutting procedures.
