Is my bike totaled?
This past July I was hit by a car on the left side of my bike. My light was green his light was a left turn yellow yield, he pulled up to the line and stopped so I thought he saw me then last second as I was going through the intersection he pulled out directly into me. Cops gave him the citation and now the insurance is telling me it’s repairable but the bike shop says they’ll take a look but based on the cost of repairs versus the msrp of what it’s valued at that they could deem it totaled. It’s a brand new 2025 Yamaha R3. I have to go through sending it to the shop anyway but I was wondering if anyone here thinks it’s actually repairable or totaled. They said the frame has to be replaced due to the damage. I would love for it to be repaired but I’d rather have honesty and not be getting my hopes up if it’s not repairable. I do have a lawyer for those wondering, and I have the entire accident on film as my insta 360 captured everything. But since accident videos can be traumatic for some people I haven’t posted it and I don’t want to get flagged on here if that’s possible. I’m new to Reddit so I may be able to post the video later. Anyone who has been in a similar accident/situation your advice is appreciated.
