I posted a note around Christmas about my SV1000 and the cost of repairing it after a 15mph (if not slower) "sorry I didn't see you" type crash.

Well, just heard that at £4000 the insurers think it's uneconomic to fix. Less than 4 months old and in the breakers already !!! I wonder what sort of offer they'll make to me - pretty low I suspect ....

Next decision I have is what to replace it with. I've got about £1500 - £2000 plus the insurers cheque so should have quite wide choice. Tempted to go back to the supersports 600 again, but who knows.

I'm getting a hire bike delivered by BLD on Monday and, although I've got no say in what I get, it's going to be a naked SV1000 (I suppose there was never any chance of it being an R1 !!!!).

If I get something other than an SV, I'd just like to thank everyone who has answered some of my stupid questions, and wish everyone all the best for the future too. It's a really great forum, and I'll probably still look in from time to time.
