Its looking increasingly like the SV will remain mine, when the insurance monkeys have finished their squabbling.
As i wont be able to ride it for a while/its not economical for repair i will be looking to sell it, probably to someone who can take it away in one foul swoop, as i can see breaking it with a busted knee being a pain.
I will get photos when its confirmed as mine but until then heres a brief description to size up interest if there is any.
Front end collision at 20 MPH with a van, so the front end looks pretty busted up. Plastics/clocks displaced, but whether everything else can be straightened i dont know (Clip-ons in particular dont look healthy).
It then fell on the RHS but the crash bung pretty much saved it. Maybe slight scratching at worst from what i can see....seems very minor.
From a really quick assesment heres what i think may be easily salvageable:
Lower fairing-Yellow- very minor scratch on RHS
Standard can/pipes- scratched a bit but seems ok
Rear hugger-Black/carbon fibre look
Front seat
Pillion seat
Rear grab rail
Pillion pegs/hanger could be good
Battery-pretty new
Chain/sprockets- roughly 1000 miles...good quality
Engine- i have not removed the fairing or had a detailed look at it, but encouragingly it started first time!
Rear wheel and anything attached/near it should be good condition
In summary anything away from the front end is probably it least useable if not in good condition. So probably other bits there to be salvaged.
So whats it worth/is anyone interested...otherwise it will probably end up on ebay.:cool:
