Its semi-official.... the SV is dead. Going to be a Cat A write off according to the workshop guys at Claridons who recovered the bike.
It seems the forks have parted company from the frame, and that the frame has sustained significant damage in the impact with the car. Apparently the only salvageable things [if it were at all salvageable] would be engine and rear of the bike ![]() But Im appreciating the good bit is that its not RIP me. The pain in arm/knee just reminds me that Im extremely fortunate again to hit something solid and walk away pretty unscathed. Im going to now go to Tescos and put a lot of money on the lottery ![]() ![]() http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=85392 refers |

My riding instructor had an orange CBF1000, quite a good bike I thought!
Shame about the bike, maybe you can sell the salvagable parts and get some money back then? Matt |

![]() If its a Cat A - no. Apparently the whole bike has to be crushed and destroyed. Though I can remove my after market bits that arent standard provided I give the insurers the standard can to crush. Genius. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Engine still servicable?There's usually a steady supply of people blowing up SV motors so perhaps a discreet swap before the crusher would be in order?Glad you survived it all.
