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.


Well, if you really wanted one:

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??

Problem with that is he probably has a loan out on the wrecked GSXR...

I thought he said it would be paid off and he would get money to replace it?

Yeah it's paid off.

And you're getting a bunch towards a replacement, right?

Yeah, I Either get $9K for my bike and I find a new bike on my own Or I get a replacement. Basically what that means is they will find a new leftover 08 and buy that for me if I want.

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.
