6 weeks, my last payout took six months. BTW you can stop them writing off your bike by using aftermarket parts of equal quatily but much cheaper. e.g. a standard sv650 can is somthing like £600 list decent aftermarket road legal can with a letter of explaination why £200

i got a call from his insureres asking what the damage was...i siad i was getting an estimate, they said they would pay the same day if i got a price ! i would expect them to send an engineer to value it themselves, but maybe not
