Thanks everybody. Depending on what insurance gives me it might be a while.
make sure you send them a copy of that receipt for the new plastics and have them add it to the bottom line.

Yeah that looks like a semi or moving truck backed into it. SUCKS! Made me sad.
Man! That sux, sorry to see that. I think someone DID hit it. EXACTLY why when I saw some stupid bitch hit somone's car in the parking lot last Wed I made her stop and got her plate. She ended up hitting 2 cars, and got a ticket for it.

Yeah seriously I can't count how many times I said holy shit when I saw it.
Ok got the quote this morning, looks like I'm getting a little more than I paid minus the deductible. After I sell the fairings, I'll have what I paid for it.
sounds good, how long you think before you back on 2 wheels?
Hopefully asap, but who knows.
in all honesty, it doesn't look that bad considering you ordered the fairings for it already...what will it cost to buy back, $300?
Yeah I'm fine with junking that one, that bike was cursed I swear. The guy I got it from did a bunch of ghetto shit to it so I'm over it.
Might be able to make some money buying it back and parting it out.

If I had a garage I would, but I don't.
hey, be sure to look up you exact motorcycle and see how much its going for through dealerships and private sellers. by exact i mean same year and as close to the mileage you have as possible.... it must the same year though... my bike is an 06 , but the 05 model is the exact same bike... but i couldnt look for 05 models.
Insurance 101 is to "total" a vehicle you take the average price you get from auction, + repair costs to get a price.. if that price is more than what it costs to replace the vehicle it becomes "totaled" and they give you a check for the amount it costs to replace the vehicle.
when my bike was "totaled" they tried giving me 4500 $ for my bike that i couldn't replace for less than $6500. and they were charging me $2000 to buy it back..... so they were only going to give me a check for $2500...
i gave them a list of motorcycle in my area that ranged from $6000 to $7500 and after a lot of arguing they gave me $6500 for the bike... i purchased it back and they cut me a check for $4500....
The best part is they messed up and didnt total my motorcycle out... so according to the DMV (the only place that matters) my motorcycle is still a clear title.
hope this helps bud.

Good point, you can always haggle the price of a total loss - don't take the first offer.
If you do this, and they total the bike and take it, you'll have to give them the plastics as well.
Bummer about the bike though. Got a soft spot for old F2's.

Be polite. Be professional. But be prepared to kill everyone you meet.

True...
If they ask for them...
The wrecker operator who dragged away my EX didn't ask for the extra parts. I had made it clear to the ins. co. that they weren't installed.

Insurance companies aren't in the business of reselling vehicles, let alone parts.

Yeah they are giving me replacement value, less the deductible. Now just need to sell the fairings.
