  1. I have bought several cat c and cat d motorcycles and rebuilt them . It seems that Insurane companies are very quick to write off bikes when only slightly damaged. I guess it is just too expensive for garages to strip them completely and test the forks and frames for alignment. Besides its easier to pay out and add the cost of their annual losses as a percentage across the board to all of their customers. Lets face it the Insurance business is a gambling game.....and one that the Insurance companies ALWAYS WIN. Jus take a look at how big insurance adds are in the local directories, TV and bike mags. Anyway getting back to the point, It is possible that the seller of the bike at the begining of this forum was unaware that the bike was a cat C bike. The bikes that I have repaired have always been repaired to the highest standard. If you want to save a couple of grand on a new bike its the ideal way to go especially if you have mechanical knowledge. If you want a track bike its even more ideal. I have never been asked for an inspection (by an engineer) from any insurer for any bike that I have repaired. As long as the bike has been repaired correctly I really cant see a problem. As I said earlier some bikes are written off with slight damage such as plastics, levers, footpegs and wxhausts, ALL of which are just bolt on items. I dont think that a bike should be worth any less once repaired correctly than a bike that has never been in an accident.
