Everything is repairable......................looks mostly cosmetic and fairng.
The question is do you value the bike enough to have it perfect or just rideable again.
Will it be an insurance job ? ? in which case they might write it off............I've seen much less damage than that write a bike off.
Make a project out of it ? ?
buy another one and use the damaged one as a spares kit ?
sell it as it is ?
Allsorts of options.............but all depend on how much the bike means to you.
I have lots of ZXR400 stuff from 2 complete and running bikes to rolling chassis and spare engines wheels and boxes of bits..............some bits I will sell and some I wont
But I value my bikes enough never to sell them and they will be repaired or used as spares to rebuild a replacement no matter the cost

What was that we were saying a few weeks ago about the dangers of knee-down on public roads and roundabouts.....? Quod erat demonstrandum, as they say in Rome
