Cat D on a bike this value is 99.99999% guaranteed cosmetic, though, so you should get a fair wack for it whatever happens. It might have to become a naked if it wasn't already, though!

EDIT: Ouch, just looked at your thread about the crash! Like I suspected, it's all the plastic that's gone... The nose is £300 a pop as I understand it, and the can and down pipe from front cylinder will need replacing too

Still, the tire didn't pop so the rear wheel and swingarm / shock are ok!

Ive got ALL the standard sytem so that can be swopped onto it, nose isnt too bad-and you can buy the panels seperate-ebay!, see for sale thread huni.

you seen the triumph street triple ?

Mine was CAT D, got £3,000 for it minus £600 salvage and cost a little over £1,000 to put back to new.

The fact the tyre hasn't popped means nothing. Believe me, the swingarm can be bent, the wheel can have a huge dent and be buckled, the shock could be bent double and the tyre could still be holding pressure.
