oops your right don't open that can of worms.

I use my mate’s 04 cbr600, I have to say it’s a brilliant bike and looks lovely better than the 1000
Pipe, filters and set up

go and get a ride and see what you think

Hmmm..

What to do??? get it fixed up as a track tool? and sell it? or strip it for parts? Quite a few items on there that would shift quick sharpish...

[Jools]

If the front wheel hasn't been pushed back to muller the engine you're looking at a grand or so on eBay for that alone!

being realistic all it need is.
Nose cone
R/H Fairing (R/H Belly pan is ok just scractched)
R/H Handlebar & Brake lever
Clutch Cover
Rear Brake lever is slightly bent but could bend back.
V peice
The Forks are straight and the frame is unmarked, Rear wheel has a scuff on the rim.
Ohh and a new paint job, but on saying that the tank is untouched as is the L/H fairing. So it will only need the Nose cone, R/H side fairing and a touch up on the seat unit. So may aswell keep the GSE Colours
I bet £500 will be more than enough to get it to a decent level. And resell value isnt going to be all that low
£2500 ish?

If you want a 600RR try John at Hunts Motorcycles in Manchester on 0161 432 1303, top bloke who will sort you a good deal on a new or used one. Tell him Shaun sent you coz he won't have a clue who or what BDG is!

Cheers Shaun will do

Sorry, I don't understand. Why is it Category B?


I thought that was only for serious frame/forks damage.

If that's all you need to get it going, why can't it be put back on the road?

[Mr C]

It down to Economical repair, If they said they were going to repair it, It would have to be as per pre accident and using OE parts.
I went to Fylde Superbikes today to get prices, Bare in mind this will cover the renewal of a part/panel even if it has the lightest of scratches caused by the accident.
Nose cone £194
R/H Fairings £248+£155
Mudguard £68
Single seat unit £304
R/H Mirror £45
R/H Handle bar £85
Brake lever £43
Carbon Clutch cover £69
Rear brake lever £35
Ti Pipes £600
Rear Brembo wheel £616
+ paint £??
+ Labour £35 Per hour

So economically it has to be a Cat B,

But with the power of ebay its not going to cost a fraction of that. Infact some parts i wont replace, Like the cans and wheel as they are only lighty very scuffed.

But surely, if its a CAT B, your fecked for putting it back on the road, if its down to economics then fair enough, they write it off, however it does not make it unsafe to put it back on the road ???????

Cat B can be repaired and return to the roads on it's origional mark, from memory it moderate to heavy damage. I have repaired cat B cars myself. As Jools says you could break it an make a tidy sum there.

[Mr_S]

It's

A - Must be crushed - Cannot normally be returned to the road
B - May be broken for salvage - Cannot normally be returned to the road
C - Too expensive to repair commercially - Can be returned to the road
D - Everything else (new for old etc) - Can be returned to the road

AB&C have markers against them set when the insurers pay out (DVLA notified using a V23)
If you try to re-register it, the flag is noted and in all instances the relevant local police authority are notified. This is to protect against "ringing"

You then have to undergo a new vehicle test to inspect for the repairs, and also that the vehicle is not a ringer.

It's the Vehicle Identity Check scheme

http://www.vosa.gov.uk/vosa/carlgvow...heckscheme.htm

So you could (possibly) put it back on the road, or break it or track it......

Can't see why it's a B though. should have thought it would fall under Cat C if there's no structural damage.

guy at work has a cat b - just got his logbook thru and tickety boo all ok. All that needs to happen is (I think) a DVLA inspector checks what has been done and gives it the all clear, then it can go back on the road, thats what he was told anyway by dvla.

trackday tool I reckon
