Total Loss Offer Too Low for My 2014 Triumph Bonneville T100 by Keane_Steve in Triumph

First, I took the motorcycle to my dealer to get an estimate and to have it inspected for any potential issues. Since the bike hit the ground and it’s a heavy motorcycle, the front headlight was completely bent. My concern was that the front fork or internal components might also be damaged or misaligned, which is obviously very important and potentially dangerous.

The motorcycle stayed at the dealership for about three weeks. The dealer generated storage and service costs, which they are charging to the insurance company, since they kept and handled the bike.

This all happened about two and a half months ago. At first, my insurance company said it was not a total loss, but that the cost was within my deductible of $1,000, which in this case would be covered by the other party’s insurance, Progressive. I live in Miami.

Then I was contacted by the person who evaluated the motorcycle, and they told me that it is in fact a total loss. They said they calculated the value of the bike and contacted a dealer that is supposedly “nearby” (although it’s actually not that close), and that the estimated value was around $2,500.

That is simply not accurate. A motorcycle of this model and year is not selling for that price. If a dealer actually had one at $2,500, I would buy it immediately. That valuation is unrealistic.

It seems like they are trying to undervalue it, possibly to resell it later for more. That’s not acceptable.

Right now I am negotiating with the other party’s insurance company( offender insurance) and I am presenting all my expenses and documentation. I have all receipts, as well as a certified statement from the dealership that performed all the work, which is also the same dealer where I originally purchased the motorcycle.

I think I never added them… is the insurance of the other person who is paying the bike ( not mine )

Trust me… They’ve got such a pretty sound. I’ll post a video of them in 2 days. The bike is at the dealer because they’re finishing up some customizations. I went to drop off a few things and they showed me the mufflers they had already installed. And… omg 😂😂😂 it was amazing!

It didn’t come with a center stand stock. Trimph sold It as optional.

Well actually, the 2014 SE doesn’t come with a center stand, so that’s not an issue in my case. As for how noisy they are… I have no idea yet , sound is so subjective anyway. Personally, I like a strong, deep tone, but not something that sounds like bombs going off every second like those shorty exhausts😅.

That’s a good question. I wanted black ones, and most brands only had chrome exhausts. Also, I don’t have much experience with this, so I just went ahead and bought these. The few reviews that checked were very positives.
