New be in need of help
Discussion
Hi guy's and girls I ted and I'm new to the forum and I'm in real need of some help.
I've just gone and got a Kawasaki zx9r c2 model a couple of weeks ago.
Recieved the logbook today to find this in the special notes part of the logbook--This vehicle has been salvaged because the estimated cost of commercial repair was more than the value of the vehicle-- does this mean the bike is a write off and isn't road worthy or something can someone please shed some light on my dilemma

Thanks for the replys guys and yes I should of done a hpi check I no I've had are lass busting my chops about it.
Am I right in thinking if it was a write off dvla wouldn't of issued me a logbook.
The bike its self looks fine only things I've had to do was replace the fork seals and change the air filter and repair the right side panels as it had scratches on it the previous owner did say it had been dropped

All I no about the bike is the previous owner said it had been dropped.
It as a valid mot.
And I now have the full logbook that match the reg / frame and engine numbers.
So dvla must of ran a VIC to check that the bike as been repaired properly and is safe to be pug back on the road again

"Written off" doesn't mean dangerous or unrepairable. Just that the insurance company decided it wasn't economically sensible *for them* to pay to repair it. (I think it's usually if the repair cost is over 50?% of the value. )
However, there's the risk that whoever did repair it cut corners to make it economically sensible, so definitely worth a close inspection.

Essentially yes it's been a write off so hopefully it was a bit cheaper and was probably due to the scratches you mentioned
It's probably not the end of the world as bikes can be written off with very little damage
Message me the reg and I can do an HPI (for free) to tell you the category / date
