Insurance payout - SV650.org

I've been offered £3400, Now I've been told never to accept the first offer, but this is quite high considering the bike was £3,995 new and it was 1 and a 1/2 years old when I crashed. Tell me what you think?

What did you sell it for on Ebay again?

Doesn't sound too bad to me, but you could try pushing for more anyway. You've nowt to loose.

Sold it for £2800, so I'm quite pleased with the offer. No excess to pay either, well I pay it, but then claim it back through the excess insurance (was an added extra for £20). I was hoping to get partial blame, but realistically I knew I'd get full blame in the end.

I would say £3400 is pretty good then! Certainly you could replace your bike like for like with that amount, which I understand is the idea.

I reckon take it. (And that'll be £0.02 for my opinion.)

dont be greedy and take the amount.

The second & (final) third offers are not necessarily more than the first offer.

I'd seriously contemplate the £3400.

Seems a good offer. Is that the net amount, or is the excess still to come off?
