Ok my sons Dt125 re (04 plate) got nicked last week . Aviva have just come back with an offer of £400 . Now from searching the bay and the usual places you cant buy a decent one for less than £1500 quid so minus is excess that 1k to get a new bike .. tney offered £900 minus excess .. Now i have never had a bike stolen so could do with some advice on how to proceed with this . The bike was pretty mint and had a lot of new parts .. recent £600 engine rebuild .. new tyres/brakes/ignition switch indicators etc etc .. Now obviously he cant get another bike for £400 and we think £1000/1100 would be a fair settlement . My son spoke to them on the phone today and they were quite rude and said thats all it was worth . Where do we stand and how do we proceed . Obviously getting links/printing off adverts for similiar bikes but any other tricks to get the proper value ?

Regards

Persil
