Same exact thing happened to me. I lowsided on an on ramp on 495 (gsxr1100), the frame had scratches in it and I told the adjuster my concerns with it. They ended up totaling the bike and gave me $6900 for it. I bought it back off of them for 3500 and polished the frame myself threw a shitload of aftermarket parts on it (totaling close to $2000) and sold it 4 months later for $7500 to some dude in Conn.
