couple days ago my 848 was hit by a car that was backing up. The motorcycle was parked and I was not present on the bike. The bike was obviously liad down on its side and had some minor damage to the body; fender damaged, mirrors cracked, peggs bent, etc

My question
1. Will the insurance replace all my Parts with original Ducati Parts?

2. Am i Entitled to Depreciation ?

3. Do I have a say in what parts I want to be replaced?

4. What If I have after Marker Parts? Do they get Replaced as well??

Thank you

The quick answer is it depends on your insurance company. I'm assuming that the car took off and you now have to file a claim on your own. If this is the case, then you'll most likely be treated much better than if someone else's insurance was footing the bill. If you have a good reputable insurance carrier, then you should be taken care of.

As for things getting fixed, the way it worked when I had mine repaired was the company sent a rep out to survey the damage and compile a "Fix It" cost. Then, once they decided it was not a total loss they cut me a check for the full replacement of all factory and aftermarket parts, minus my deductible. After that, it was completely up to me how I fixed my bike and what parts to use. I was able to upgrade many things thanks to Ducati's factory parts being so expensive.

Hope I helped a little.

The thing with filing a claim is that the bike will now have a salvage title on it, or at least it does for this state, so depreciation is a very real possibility. Depending on amount of damage it might be easier to foot the bill yourself. Had something similar happen to me. If you have a way to get around other than your bike it might be easier, and cheaper, to do the work yourself for the long term of things. Just a few things to think about

A tip over can run a few grand...

You will have to fight with them , more than likely but they absolutely should use genuine parts and fix everything . Good to have receipts for after market stuff ?

Insurance company

Thank you for all the replies.

This isn't a hit & run. I have the insurance information for the person, his insurance company is progressive and I have heard nightmares about progressive insurance.

Also I took it to the shop and he said it would run about 2k will all replacement parts.

It won't have a salvage title unless they list it as totaled and he buys it back. For 2K it's not going to be totaled.

This state does that for some reason. Saw an 848 corse with about 2k in damage and it had a salvage title. This state is weird like that for some reason

This doesnt make sense. If the bike was never totaled and/or salvaged, how does it get a salvage title?? A title must transfer for that to happen.

Are you saying that if I bust my mirror off pulling in the garage, Hawaii makes me get a salvage title when I fix it??

 

[zodom]

Not if you pay out of pocket. It's weird and that was how this was explained to me by a guy who went through it.

If you're referring to Hawaii, you are incorrect. I had two accidents in Hawaii, one my fault, one tip over, and my bike still has a clear title.

All parts were replaced with brand new authentic Ducati parts.

First accident included: Rear rim, exhaust, all new fairings, etc...about $12,000 in repairs.

They insured the frame was strait, forks where strait, etc...

Being an "S" the dealership deemed it not expensive enough to total. They claimed $15,000 would have totaled it and hence requiring the salvaged title.

The second accident was just a tip over, similar to the OP's, which racked up around $14,000 in repairs. Including a new stamped frame...still not totaled or salvaged.

Now, my bike has all brand new parts just like the day it rolled off the lot.

Thank you for clearing that up. Like I said that's what I was told.

What wa11er didn't mention was don't park your 1198s next to a bunch of helicopters with a bike cover on! On the Hawaii note I have only seen bikes that were stolen insurance paid out, then recovered and it was given a salvage title.
