Bummer of a first post...

You will have a salvage bike.... it will probably make selling it down the road a tad more difficult. Better if you can find an informed and knowledgable buyer. The resale will suffer some as it does with salvage. I guess it's a matter of what your plans are. For me I know I'll ride mine till the wheels come off so resale isn't the primary concern. Other like Zaster who is rebuilding his S4Rs, is doing it for a track bike I think. If you are worried about trade in or switching up to something larger soon then I'd recommend looking at this as an opportunity to make the move now.

unless i find a screaming deal on a used bike that i would want in the next few days, i'll probably get my current one back, and buy somthing else later on.

[TheLos]

this was taken before the fmf fatty pipe, v-force reeds, wiseco piston, asv levers, and new tires were added.

Love playing with toys.  Here's my other toy.  Raced it for a few years.  Now just play with it.

I'm guessing the original poster is Carlos.
If so I was on the ride also and we had lunch with Ducmouse after.
I'm also glad to hear you are ok.
As I remember you had stated the bike was short on steam for the rides you like to do.
But of course money is always an issue.
It will have a salvage title and take quite a hit on later resale along with all the down time to repair.
My intent is not to be negative but just practical.

Hey Doug! Yeah, i'm ok. Just bummed. I guess now is about the best excuse to get something with a bit more "umph".
Thanks for the input. I appreciate a straight shot answer, espically because this is the first time i have had to deal with this.
I'm going to wait to see what the insurance will say... I'll keep everyone up to date.

Ok, it's comming down to the wire here... I need help deciding if i buy it back and ride it forever, or do i kiss it good bye (and search for another monster this winter). I dont know what progressive will give me for total, or total with buy back... Help! 

[ducducgooseme]

if you plan on keeping the bike, and you have the bike already paid off....keep it and mod the snot out of it.

if you plan on selling it in a year, let it go

[Zaster]

+1 DDGM,
If you really like the bike and it's paid for that means that you are getting money from the insurance to help you make it better than before as long as you are comfortable doing most of the work yourself.
In this scenario you might even have money left over towards a future ride.
That's what I'm doing with my S4RS

FYI, for the smaller Monsters the buy back I've been seeing on average it running between 1k-2k. Quite a bit more for the 4v bikes.
