Hi, Anyone got any advice for me? I got knocked off by a car pulling away behind me at a busy junction. They have apparently admitted liability and we are both insured by the same company. The bike has been estimated as needing around £2500 worth of repairs! GREAT! Not suprisingly the ins co have written it off. BUT...... I had a laserline alarm, scotoiler, and a virtually new pair of Z6s' on it! It's a 2004 sv650s with 8400 miles FSH and not a scratch before the shunt. I not happy about buying second hand really so may have to stretch to a new one. What do you think I should expect as an insurance payout and how can I lever up the offer? I'm gonna need a new helmet too.......Flippin' heck........been without a bike now for 3 weeks.......
