Default NEW BIKE TIME!!!

Well I just got off the phone with the most kick *** insurance company ever. Progressive ended up paying out pretty good coin for my 7 year old bike. With a salvaged title (that I did not know about).

The final value on the 954 ended up being $7400 - $500 deductible = $6900 towards a new bike!

And with my company paying me to move next week I'll have a few extra dollars left over to put towards a bike... so I figure somewhere in the range of $8k to $8.5k for my new bike without having to finance a thing.

Is it worth trying to buy it back from the Ins? Maybe part it out for some more money?

Hot! You'll have quite the eye-candy to look over with that kinda cash in your pocket for a new bike! Any idea's what you might want?

Honestly I don't know for sure but I have a lot of room to play with so I'll just keep my eye out for the right one.

Frigging sweet!!! Normally they always undervalue the vehicle so they don't pay out as much.

Get the bike as soon as you can for the best deal. I keep seeing 954s going for $5k or so right now. Also, I was at a dealer a few weeks back and the salesman was willing to sell me a new CBR 1000 for $8k. A nearly free upgrade would be pretty nice.

Glad to hear everything worked in your favor VP. I know it doesn't replace the hard work you put in to your 954,but It helps when the ins. company does you right. I don't know what ins. companies go by but State Farm totaled my 97 f3 3yrs. ago and bought it back and still ended up getting like $3000,which went to medicial bills.HAHA

Hey, that's a new '07 600rr if you shop around or a fairly new '06 - '07 1K. Goodluck and glad to hear you were taken care of.
