QuoteWhy not see if you can get the insurance company to total it, then buy it back cheap for track use???

The engine break in debate...
I consider myself fourth genaration of experts in ancient technology  8) and I'm with Super_Dave.  Reminds me of my Russian Ural sidecar bike I had.  Up until 2000 they didn't hone cylinders.  You had to ride at slow (35mph) varying speeds for 1K miles to seat the rings.  I almost tore the jugs off mine to hone them myself.

Only if I would have just dropped the damn thing, but being a good racer and doing everything in my power to not loose it, managed to keep it upright and damage is little.  So much for my showroom bike.

I would have jumped off the bike, then took a chisel to the frame after I get home, just to scrape off some paint... hahaha

Well I guess you will be racing that R6 next year. So what you going to ride on the street? I am converting my 99 back to street.

may not have to.  I took the bike to the shop where i bought it.  Swingarm and frame damage present.  Anyone know if 'G ei co' allows you to buy back a totaled bike?  Better question is, how do you bring this up in the conversation and how much should I expect to buy it back from them?

When the adjustor comes out to go over the estimate with you, if they are going to total it, just ask the question. They usually let  you buy back for a percentage of the book value, usually not much at all. Depending on your company. Just ask the adjustor.
