Hi Martin
Sorry to hear about the bike i had my '02 748R stolen last october from Mallory.
I hope the following helps, i was expecting to get rolled over by the insurance company so i gathered all the Adverts i could from official dealers throughout the country printed them out and sent them to the insurers. I was offered £6900 at first and after a little persuasion they upped it to £7500.
I argued that although they were available for less privately i had originally bought it from a main delaer and that was what i expected them to enable me to replace it with.
I hope you can get the deal you want from yours.
Still wish i could buy another new one though.
Regards
keith

Thanks for that Keith and all the other kind comments. Still can't believe it is gone

Its enough to bring a tear to a grown mans eye isn't it.
I even went as far as asking the factory direct if there was any possibility of finding one anywhere new. Bet you can't guess their answer.
Bought a 998s with the payout but i'd still rather have my Baby R back.

It,s a very personal thing a bike. Sorry to here about your loss. I once had a dead friends bike stolen from my garage years ago. Police not interested.
Hope you have good ending.
