insurance write offs

[Glyn]

are there any good sites out there that sell off insurance write offs
any auctions that specialise in this sort of thing
or is the only option to deal with the breakers

most of the bikes i see for sale in the salvage section of biketrader seem to be more expensive than the minters in the rest of the mag! and "light front end damage - easy repair" seems to be a euphemism for "needs new forks, new front wheel, new brakes, new handlebars, new front fairing and has multiple scratches all over the rest of the bike."

i have a very low mileage (1200 on the clock when I got it) mint Q plate bandit which had been written off (it was a faired bike, but a low speed spill knocked a fairing bracket off). however, it's really awkward to get theft cover due to the difficulty in valuing the bike. not really an issue with such a cheap bike, but i would imagine that would be more of a problem with a ducati.
