It's a write-off, because the parts and labour are more than the value of the bike. All the plastics need to be replaced, the head bearing is crushed, the triple tree is bent, the front axle is bent, among other things... I suppose I could keep the bike and try and fix it, but I really do not...

I do not have access to the bike yet, as it's still in the shop. I originally swapped out my Corbin for the stock seat. Most likely the insurance will only allow me to scavenge the GIVI luggage rack. I have the boxes at home. Please do not PM me yet until I take photos and put up a "for sale"...

***UPDATE!*** Re: I had a low-speed crash this weekend. Here's an update on my FZ6. It's confirmed a write-off. The whole front is smashed and the steering components are shot. It's not worth fixing her up at this point, so I'm going to try and scavenge some parts and post them on this forum...

Here's another thing I want to point out about my experience. I'm so glad that I had these simple GIVI hard bags mounted, and that I didn't choose to remove them for my ride that Saturday. As you can see, it bore all the damage to the rear, so the rest of the bike was unscathed. And it still...

I've already talked at length with the adjuster this morning, and right off the bat they will cover up to $3000 minus my deductible of $500. So basically $2500. I have my fingers crossed.

Yes it's a Corbin. It already came with the bike when I bought it, so it's really nice and worn in. The leather might be a bit slippery for some, but I put a Triboseat cover for the passenger.

Thanks for all the quick replies and encouragement. I'd rather not go naked as this is my daily, year-round, driver. Plus I make the occasional road trip 2-up. I will see where the dealership sources their parts from, but will definitely try and locate the plastics on the interweb. I'm honestly...

Hi All, As the title says, I had an incident on the weekend. I had a low-speed lowside and now my poor baby looks like this. (see below) I have made my insurance claim, but I'm afraid that the adjuster might write it off, and I'm hoping to have my bike fixed because I love it so much. The...

Yep, both bars are still around. However, we have much better watering holes than those. Especially if you like local beers. GoPro suction-cupped onto the tank, just behind the filler cap. I'm headed on a long weekend bike trip to Oregon, so I hope to have more videos.

Hi there. Just wanted to share my first FZ6 video that I made last week. Maybe you'll enjoy it a little? I had fun making it :D A deserted road - 2005 Yamaha FZ6 - YouTube
