My poor ninja 650

Rode my favourite route last thursday, the sun was shining and it was real nice... Up until i hit some gravel in a corner and wasnt able to save it, with more skill and experience maybe I could have, but alas.. the damages was apparently too severe so the insurance is paying me out the bike instead of getting it fixed. Rest in pieces..

So, what bike do I get now?

Scratch or ripple? I have never seen a scratch so anything other than some calling he wow er a moron and telling them to touch it up or put a sticker on it .

A ripple .. frame’s fucked .

If was just a scratch , why report it at all ?

It wasn't just the scratch on the frame. In fact, I didn't see that over the plastics and tank damage. The appraiser spotted the scratch first and told me that was enough
