You don't sound too bothered that your bike is a write off, are you ready for a change then?

Do you have any pics of these bikes so we can see?

Just had the assesor out looking at mine this morning, front sub-frame has snapped, rear sub-frame twisted, he pointed out a few other bits n bobs, probably looking in the region of 3k to put right.

I'd save the money and get a Z750 over a Z1000 - mind you I think that Rictus's brother has a Z1000 for sale at the moment......

Yes, you are right and no I didn't want to see pics of the crashed beast LOL I am not that sadistic okay I had a look, not good . But hey you get to choose a new bike , what does Mrs Cuffy suggest?

(Methinks that you will probably have a new bike before mine is repaired...)

Got some updates...

Front sub frame ive managed to pretty much streighten out (one side is 5mm lower than other, not noticable thank fully! )

Anyway a couple of pics of it naked, looks nice imo







Here is a before and after on the repair... Not done yet with the plastic padding but its getting there.





Mid panel






Tried to fix the radiator with gasket silicon. I think it would have worked but we didnt allow it enough timefor it to set I dont think... Once it got upto temp it was weeping ordered a pair of radiators for £160 delivered so should be good when I get those through.
