Complete Write-off

[SILVERONE]

Suppose your bikes a complete write-off , no one has been injured, not your fault & you've not lost your no claims bonus.
You can't replace it with the same model bike, so what would you get ???

 

[Supabird1100]

Can I only spend the dosh on one bike...or can I split it between a couple of machines ???? :dunno:

 

[Wolfie]

blade or fazer thou

 

[Jaws]

Possibly a girocopter and flying lessons..
But if I had to replace it with another bike it would most likely be a 1200 kwak.
Once the small issues are sorted and all the nuts and bolts replaced it might be quite useable

 

[ianrobbo1]

Hornet 900, or a Blade,tried a new Pan, Tina didnt like the lack of "foot space" ie between rider and pillion pegs,

 

[granite]

FJR1300--if its close to the old fj12 :bow:

Depends, if the missus still wanted to ride then it would be another Bird without doubt, if I was only ever gonna ride solo, a Blade

Hornet 900

Hornet 900, or a Blade,tried a new Pan, Tina didnt like the lack of "foot space" ie between rider and pillion pegs,

Had the first one sold in the UK RRobbo and it was one hell of a disappointment. No top end rush and no sign of the grunt being spread lower down, Handling OK but rusted like buggary in the first few months. Honda replaced the rusted bits but lost an arm and a leg when I got shot of it after six months. uke: The CB1300 is what the 900 Hornet was supposed to be like.

AAaah so!! :bow: I put the 900 as first choice as I had a 600, and enjoyed it, Ive been on a 900 and was impressed, "when compared to the 6" I had no rust problems on my 600, so didnt realise that it may be an issue, have you had a go on "T" CB1300 to compare, I get the feedback from a couple of the blokes up here they are a bit "lardy" in comparison to the 900, :dunno:

 

[Wolfie]

ask davet about his hornet900 and if it ok or not.

 

[Supabird1100]

''Get real'' ,you'll be lucky to get one for what that's worth :neenaw:

So.....I write off me Pan (53 reg) and get a pay out. Current value about ?8000 and I have to decide what to get next ??

Use ?2000 to finish off me project V-Max.....and spend the other ?6000 on another touring bike.

Problem solved !!!!!! :neenaw:

 

[RHINO]

hmmmm, if had to replace mine with the insurance money only then it would be GSX1300R HAYABUSA ( blue & silver) as 1st choice and then ZX12R SAKAKAKI (blue or red) for my 2nd then if i had to choose again it would be the BLADE in navy blue / white which i think was circa 2000, i just like the colour scheme.
IF Emma didn't wanna ride on the bike anymore then i'd deffo look at a Yamahahahaha Arse1 and get it painted in the old yellow/white/black Yam racing colours.
If i had to buy a bike under ?2000 though i would seek out a mint RD350LC :lick:

I too had a 600 with a micron can and absolutely loved it so that is why I went for the 900. I had ridden a 98 blade on many occasions but although I had 9000 miles on the 900 it really had sod all to offer,unlike the Blade. Yes I have ridden the cb1300 a few times and it is a bit lardy but plenty of grunt. I had a xj1200 when I was trying out the 1300 so I probably did'nt notice the lardiness. I liked the 1300 but wanted a fairing so hence the Bbird. I have just bought a CBR 400RR Hurricane to put the bird away for the winter as she is starting to show the signs of salt and having had a new loom and ecu I intend to keep her for as long as I can handle the weight. If I had to get sommat lighter I must admit it would be a Blade. :bow:
