    I just had a call from my insurance company and the ZZR600 was a total loss. They're sending me a cheque through the post and gave me a reasonable price for it.

    Only thing is though is that there was a Meta 2 alarm and imobiliser fitted, think it cost me £400 fitted by the dealer. How do I stand regarding this, should the insurance company take this into account, any one know?

    Need a new bike, criteria;

    fast
    looks fast
    can go long distances on it
    any modern gismos that might save me crashing it ABS, traction control
    budget £6000 max but will go second hand

    I have always wanted a ZZR1400, am I mad to take on such a beast?

    any suggestions welcome

    My understanding is that accessories/modifications are not insured.

    Glad to hear you're better and not put off riding.
    ZZR1400 is a very nice touring bike but also quite heavy.

    What about a CB1000R like Ade or a Z1000 like Nelly?

    Somone at work has a XJ1300, 2009, with only 550 miles on the clock for £5500. It's white.

    BTW - if it's not completely busted, then you might be able to go and retrieve it.

    Hi Paul

    Sorry to hear about your crash, glad your feeling better and are going to battle with your ins co. As Stu says, dont accept 1st offer. Any extras that you have added and the way that youve looked after your bike can make a difference. You need to send them proof of servicing, parts etc. pics of the bike to show that it was in vgc.

    If you get a zzr1400, watch out. It will blow your mind. Seriously quick and reasonably agile for a big bike. The new Triumph Sprint is good too.

    Good luck mate [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

    Does anyone have experience of the BMW K1200s or know anyone who has owned one?
