Default Let's play the "is it totaled" game

Some of you may remember my post recently about my bike getting rear ended, it's waiting for parts to be fixed currently ($2400 in damage by the way). Anyways 3 days after I got rear ended my buddy was coming down to hang out and was in an accident on the same road as me! Lady ran a red light and he t-boned her. He's beat up but thankfully not too bad and will be better soon. Anyways here is some pictures of his 2016 street bob with only 3000 miles. He is hoping it's totaled so he can move on to another bob, he doesn't want a new bike that's been wrecked this bad. Let me know what ya think, oh and be careful out there!!

Nope. Unless the neck is bent or there is paint damage I can't see. Pop a springer on and it will be good to go. If it is totaled its going to be a good bike to get through copart or someplace.

Kinda hard to tell by the pictures and i should have included in my original post. But from what i could tell looking at it in person there is this in addition to a whole front end: Dent in the front side of gas tank, scuff in paint on side of tank, shift lever bent, scuff on rear fender and turn signal broken off.

No. Not one that new. I'd guess around $8k damages.

I'm not sure what the damage has to exceed to total, i think its 75% in NC. Its going to be cutting it close if it ends up around 8k in damage

If it's totalled, I'd try to buy it back from the ins. co.
Unless there is any frame damage, that is...

I'd say totaled as well...but its goning to depend on the adjuster. I got into a wreck on my sv650, forks were bent, radiator smashed and fairing busted into 1 million pieces. The bike still ran though. Ins. totaled it, I bought it back from them and ended up selling it. made a little money on the deal.

For my hit and run incident the damage was no where near anything like that and they paid me close to the value of the bike. The adjuster said if it was another $1000 in damage they would have totaled it. Lucky for me they didnt and the bike is all fine again now with just a few scratches and its all paid off too.

For that one, I would say its totaled.
