bikes stolen - need comparable builds for insurance comps

That sucks and thieves are asshole's. For the future though make sure to always keep your receipts. It helps when these kind of things happen and it also helps prove to a potential buyer you just did a new top/bottom end, new clutch, etc. when it comes time to sell it.

Hopefully the cops will find out who did it and get your bikes back.

my sons Yamaha PW50(not insured)

so some asshat needed my bikes more than I did I guess. I know it is going to be next to impossible to get my money out of insurance, BUT I am hoping that I can most of it. so I am looking for build lists with parts and prices of some nice builds. I had SHIT TONS of money in both of my bikes. I am wanting to show the insurance some comparable builds and not have them shove roached out craigslist bike down my throat. I am not wanting to use anyone else parts/receipts/invoices as evidence of my bikes. I have my parts/bikes covered as far as documentation goes.

Receipts will show what you paid.

Shouldn't be too hard to track down receipts if you ordered everything from online or local shops. All the info should be stored in databases and you can ask them to reprint your receipts.

Edit: Sorry to hear about your bikes man. That's terrible. And these are some beautiful machines. Hope you get them back.

Need to have your receipts or at the very least give them a list of parts on your bike.

Depending in your insurance company you will only be able to send them comps that are same yr/make/model or plus one year same make/model

Also make sure to send them your photos

Comped, you say??

So you're basically asking us to do the laborious and time-consuming work of itemizing your fraudulent insurance claims?

I remember a time, long ago, when getting creative with your insurance claim was a private, almost spiritual endeavor.

Ha that is what I thought! Right after I read "shit ton of money"

Tell them $9k each, be ready to accept 7k for the KTM and 6k for the Yamaha.

not trying to be fraudulent in any way, I have my parts list and information on my side. just wanting a couple other examples that I can show them of equal bikes. I do not want to use anyone else parts/receipts/invoices for my bikes.

I am just looking for comparable builds that I can show them. I don't want the only comparable thing they have is some roached out bikes that they pulled from craigslist.

Your insurance company doesn't need to compare your claim against anything else. You have a defined year/make/model with itemized customizations/accessories. That's all they need or will want.

You have year/make/model of a well known, popular and fairly new item, the insurance company will have a set price of the value, they aren't just going to type "dirt bike" into craigslist and see what numbers pop up.
However if inclined, you could look on craiglists to find some. Search for the exact model/year/make and you'll probably see a few that have had work done to them.

Insurance companies hire 3rd party companies to research the value of totalled vehicles in order to settle with a fair value. The third part companies use comps available within the market in order to value

Good luck been down this road already there is a “book value “ assigned to your brand and model unless you have a separate Ryder on your policy insuring extras your probably not going to like what you hear, good luck , hope they turn up , then you can really dig in for replacement costs on damaged parts and possibly internal components since they only Wright visible damage new top ends bearings etc since you don’t know what has been done to it outside your possession

My brother inlaws 1000 RZR was stolen. He had over 30K in it. I think insurance paid he like 20k. So be ready to get beat down,

Darren,

Super bummed to hear about your bikes being stolen.

Let me know if you need the invoice for the KTM 450SXF JBI Suspensnion we built.

Also, if your bikes are not recovered, Id like to offer you a free of charge JBI Suspension Revalve for your replacement bike.

Hope your bikes are recovered, thieves suck.
