Hello.
My old bike, a CBR600F which i sold to a mate last April has been written off after a complete div side swiped him in Wimbledon, thnakfully he's ok bar a very bruised foot, sore knee and aches.
The bike didnt go down but ripped the rear LHS peg off, cracked the heal plate and bent the peg bracket into the swingarm and cracked the engine cover, front LHS lower fairing and hugger. As its 1997 the 3rd parties insurer wrote it off and offered £720 payout which he has refused as that wont buy a similar bike...but its come to light the bike was written off twice before as Cat D!
I bought this bike from a shop in Camden, Lazer bikes, and I was not made aware of this, I asked after its history and was told it had none bad they knew off, this is verbally only so I have no physical record of that.
Now the insurance offer is low as the bikes been written off before, do I have any comeback on the shop for selling the bike to me knowing or unknowingly that it was already a write off x 2 before.
Any advice or oppinion offered appreciated!
Cheers,
Perry.
