Just wondering about the ramifications of putting a bike back on the road that's had a payout.
I've just bought it & it's "cosmetically challenged", but sound, intact, low mileage with a good history.
the previous owner had a payout when a moped went into the LHR corner and there's quite a bit of broken or scuffed plastic but it's otherwise good. His insurance company said they were going to write it off over the phone, but he never heard any more about that. He never had to hand over the V5 and has only just retaxed it online.
DVLA website doesn't show any markers against it. I've not done an HPI check and wondering if it's worth it.
If it has been "written off" - what's the problem about putting it back on the road? I could break it for spares, but that would be a shame.
Thanks in advance
