If I don’t hear anything from anyone by EOB tomorrow, I will assume due to the buyback value no one is interested.

I figured :lol. A lot of that is the gear and parts. Almost $2,200 worth in parts and gear they are reimbursing me for.

That settles it. I just emailed the agent and told him to start the paperwork on getting it taken care of. Peace out ya’ll.

Eh, if I get back on, it’ll probably be a 2014 or 2015 Ninja 300 again (or something else in this ball park if someone releases say a 350 or 400). I ran some insurance quotes (without an accident) for some 600’s and it’s just not worth it to me for the extra power and inline four sound (which I do love more than anything having to do with cars/bikes).

I commuted on this thing a lot and almost 60mpg is also a bonus.

I love it but I just don’t ride anymore. I’ve put 200 miles on it this year. My work changed buildings this year and the lot that I have to park in is across the street and down a hill so it’s not visible from the street or building. I don’t like leaving my bike there even in daylight.

Ilya, Glad your Ok. Dont let JS rattle your cage. Gravel on the road is dangerous for bikes and even cars. But what is even worse is animals or cars pulling out in front of you. So when riding a bike you are going to at a higher risk problems So you must be extra careful and drive defensively… Not faulting you just saying…Bill

Yeah I called, I would save 10 dollars a month over all, but if i go without crashes my rate would go down. VS Allstate which has only gone up every year.:Idiots

On top of that they have 3k toward gear, My suit alone is 2k my helmet was 500 and the gloves were 250, the boots 500 so I do have a lot of money invested in myself alone.

> Chad and Morgan…Nationwide came back to me. Bike is totaled. Their salvage value on the breakdown is $1,381. Message me your offers if you’re still interested and I will do the math to see if it’s worth buying it back. They are willing to give me just shy of $7k for everything if they take it. If I buy it back, it’s around $5,300 that I get a check for. I’m thinking that’s going to be the better option in this particular case (letting them take it).

WOW

how much is he asking? if the buy back is 1.3k IF I was looking for a 300 I’d offer that, the repair on the bike would run another 1k

If I were in the market of keeping the bike I would consider that amount but I’m looking to buy/fix and sell so that’s 2x the amount I’m willing to pay… How much is that’s bike new 3500? Def not worth it to me to go through the work of fixing it up and almost having the same amount in it that a used one with a clean title would be worth

MSRP is $4,799 and I think the 2014’s are $200 more now so $4,999. Out the door I paid $5,400 cash.

I have someone from the City (friend of a friend) who might buy it back…but otherwise it’s going to Nationwide shortly.

Nope… about $5500 out the door is the norm for these bikes.
