Thanks man. And thanks to all the rest of ya.
Nah, slider stayed attached, but the bracket that it attaches too is bent (per the pic). Don’t know if it did anything to the frame, although remembering how it’s install, it really isn’t attached to the frame all that much. It’s held on by two long bolts, the same bolts that keep the engine attached to the frame. And I don’t think the back end damage is enough to tweak the frame.
I really do hope they total it. At this point, I’d rather have the $$$ than the bike. I don’t like owning things that have been previously fixed and may have a salvage title…that’s why I bought the bike new (since it was affordable) so I was getting something I knew the history of and had no prior questionable maintenance or treatment.
Hahah, no Busa for me. I’ve been monitoring the prices on 06-08 600s (Gixxers, CBRs, R6s, and ZX-6Rs). We’ll see what happens. I don’t plan to ride this particular 300 again though.
