Well I did a little asphalt surfing this morning...

I know that would be best but I can share in Jarod's passion to put the miles in on the motor. This is his single man million mile march. I get that.

other than the stator area, the body work don't look bad.

Overall its a complete judgement call. I would consider calling insurance on it if I had full coverage. You know they will total it.

Tuff luck and tuff call.

Glad you're ok.

Damn man. Terrible. I've hit a curb...though my Zuk made out a little better. Take it easy for a day or two. Good luck.

That sucks Bro! It's a tough call and I know you don't want to hear this but...I think it's time for a new bike. Even if the motor can be repaired/replaced for a reasonable amount, the frank truth is the bike isn't worth it. Besides, your frame/sub frame could be slightly tweaked. Forks could be slightly tweaked. Etc. Do you really want to pump thousands of dollars into a bike that's only work a couple grand? I'd take the money and find a really good deal on a CBR600RR and call it good. I've been both ways on this deal. I had '97 YZF1000R that I bought back after the deer and it was a POS after wards. I gave up my '01 GSXR1000 and I wish that I had kept it...although, it turned out that the frame was tweaked. Considering the age/mileage on the bike and the hit that the motor took...I'd go shopping. I may be wrong but I could have sworn that I've seen '07/'08 CBRs for about $8000 otd.

Im with Tigger. The risks involved are not worth fixing that bike. She's been good to you. Time to put her to bed.

I agree.

A new motor is the easiest fix but that would totally ruin the "cool factor" of this bike.

Fix it and get her back on the road, as close to original as possible.

Sorry to hear about the wreck, Jared.
