is a crashed 2005 cbr1000rr worth much?

but when you write a check for 21k for a bike you cant even ride anymore - it will be a hard road taking 6grand for it - even if thats what it is actually worth

i'm sure you understand.

shit man. Get a damage report.. depends on the condition of the forks /radiator/ frame/ etc etc etc but he might want to think about sourcing and fixing it himself was what i was saying. That gixxer that sold could be put back on the road for a couple of grand. and it had a worked engine.

I don't know what all the fuss is about. I bought a Street Magic and it's no where near as quick as my CBR.

Should be a fairly close match, a naturally aspirated rb20 wouldn't make ~160 horses

nope. turbos wrong. first off they are ceramic and shit. secondly they are too big for the application. well, thats what i thought when i fit one to a mates honda.

you'd need something nice and small, capable of supporting around 350-400hp and ball bearing. externally wastegated too to run low boost at high rpm.

GT25 would probably do it nicely.

deals off. he sorted it through insurance apparently.

Hey Mate,
....its all good about the bike, we managed to sort everything out.

The guy had partial indemnity coverage so that worked out well for everyone...especially me. It meant that I didn't have to pay out as much (just his excess and the subrogational value) and he was fully restituted for the bike. I still felt pretty bad though.
