[QUOTE="G Squared, post: 1279288, member: 87665"] Ok,, spoke with Service Manager at Friendly Yamaha.. That's where 'pants original bike wound up. He gave me a summary of where a totaled bike goes.. ( I worked there 6 years and that subject never came up to me at least). Insurance will usually send bike to auction. So it basically disappears.. Only if a local salvage yard buys it and you luck up with calling the right one,,,, well you see why I said it basically disappears. It may not be in this state. And then, if you did find one,, the parts are at least 50% of new. Remember,, they bought it from the ins. co. and they want to recoup their money also. Just a quick example, while I was still employed there, we had a totaled cbr 1000. New bike, but totaled. The same Svc. Manager tried to buy it for the motor. Only thing good left on bike. Ins. wanted 6000 $ for it. So off it went. Anyway I was hoping for a better outcome, I would have loved to find that bike,, but now it's a needle n the haystack. [/QUOTE]
