Sorry decided to go for a small bike ride saw a mate on his bmx so we went to westernpark where he decided it would be a good idea to ride down a 50' angle in the wet with no vision at all and ended up 5 meters away from his bike lying in rocks so I was in the hospital for most of the night... comedy plus

The damage to my bike that I know of is; Bent forks, bend radiator, smashed ferrings (every ferring is damaged in some way front ferring and main left ferring are both shattered), Tank is a goner, air box damaged, handle bars bent, clutch lever bent, wind screen smashed, mirrors smashed, head lights smashed, and instruments all stuffed, there are a few other little things, from what I know there is no damage to the motor it self.
Now I have a whole new set of ferrings but they need plastic welding and painting I have a friend who plastic welds so that's no problem and another who paints cars so that's taken care of, I also have a tank, windscreen, forks (one needs a new seal), second hand head lights and instruments all of which I obtained for $400, So that means All I need is; Radiator, handle bars, mirrors, lever and Other things that I don't know about yet.

So is it worth buying my bike back and putting it on the road again, or should I just cut my losses and buy a new bike?

Hey

Just speaking from experience... My ZXR had less damage than your CBR (by the looks of things) and so far I've spent over $3800 getting it fixed, yours looks like it'll cost more than that...

Hence I voted no.
