I did find out that the driver's insurance wrote to me and mentioned that their excess is £295 my quote came to £250 I'm tempted to phone them to find out how much their repairs will cost and see if we can come to an arrangement. When I phoned her to inform her the bike was damaged she asked to call me back. It was her partner, given that he claimed to have a witness which they have never offered I'm a bit uneasy about dealing with them directly.

I'd be inclined to not deal direct leave it with the insurance. It could backfire on you and regardless of whether either of you take a payout from insurance you've lost your nc bonus because a claim form has been put through. Atleast that's what happened to me some years ago.
Go with the 50/50
