If you're not keeping the bike I assume the only reason to keep the salvage would be to squeeze a bit more cash out of the situation. If so, do your sums carefully.

You might be better off just taking the write off settlement.

A Cat D is worth less as it's a non-starter for a lot of people. One that's been repaired on the cheap even more so.

I'm not saying don't take it back, just don't do it because everyone seems to think it's always a good idea. Sometimes it isn't the best move.
