It's dead. My riding for this year is over, will have to wait until Spring for a new bike. Not sure if I want another RR or F 800, or K 1200 R. I have all winter and the rest of summer to decide.

Dwayne, that's a major bummer. Sorry to read about your crash....

It sounds like the gear saved you from a world of hurt and that's the good thing!

What does a dealership do with a bike that has frame damage anyway? Does anyone know?

Can a bike be re-constructed with a new frame? Engine salvaged?

I've heard of people buying back "written-off" Harleys and fixing them up-but that was a couple of decades ago....

In 1998 I was T-boned on my 1997 F650 at an intersection by a guy who ran a red light. The BMW system case probably saved my leg. In taking the impact, the frame got bent, but because the bike was so new it wasn't written off. The dealer ordered a new frame and stripped all the parts off the old bike and put them on the new frame.

My bike was only two years old, but the insurance company....being an insuracne company wrote it off

Dwayne

Hope for a quick recovery and like John Wayne used to say "Get up, dust yourself off and get back on that horse"

Best of luck

The insurance company got back to me today, they've cut a cheque for almost the entire value of the bike. From the amount I got, they seem to have almost over valued the bike.

It looks like a yellow 2006 (with 0 kilometers) K 1200 R is in my future

Trust me, an R1150R would be my ideal bike, but after riding on the F 800 ST, and given that the K bikes are even smoother...I think I'm sold on them...although the R 1150 R is a much sexier machine
