    If the bikes good & rides ok & you plan to use it for a while should be fine.
    they often write them off for bugger all ie/ plastics, fairings etc etc.

    If the crank case & swing arm & suspension look ok & it rides straight & true then not much to worry about

    I was in the same position once. I agreed to the money and had the car returned. I broke the car and sold it (sold pretty fast) in bits. Made more money than I recieved from the Insurance

    guy relisted it today at £800, so spoke to him, he wont sell it for that unless I win it. So ive bid on it, But wont bid again, so I hope no one else does now.

    but, if I dont win then I wont be too annoyed as I dont want to pay anymore.

    ive had 2 bikes that have both been Cat C and havent had a problem with either. just depends where the damage is really. mine where both just dropped on the fairing as the dumb ass previous owners didnt put the stand down before getting off.

    but these were both front faired bikes only, bandit 600s and a suzuki intruder.

    whats this one youre looking at?

    Looking at a GSXR SRAD SRAD.

    The guy managed to sell it to someone else for a tad more than I was bidding.
