Well, that settles it. You've got no honour - and without honour, you've got nothing.

You would be surprised how much OEM bike parts cost. A decal alone for a lot of bikes are close to $100.

Plus in many cases a 10 yr old bike is worth more than a 10 yr old car...even when the car cost 10x the bike when both were new.
Knocking over a dual sport Yamaha could do about $200 damage.Knocking over an 1198 Ducati could easily do $4,000 in damages.
And to go even further, knocking over a fully-customized, hand-built custom chopper could result in an amount of damage that can't be priced.
Although, I doubt an owner of such a bike would park on the street in such a busy city like Toronto.
If I knock down a bike I would pay for the NORMAL damages of it only, which means that I am not going to pay for your $700 vanity fairings that are not even part of the stock bike. I don't even think insurance pays for expensive vanity after-market parts for bikes. Do you really think your insurance would pay $20,000 on a stolen Gixxer because you had a $10,000 electronic gadget added to your bike? I don't think so. If the insurance companies can legally deny paying for your expensive after-market parts what makes you think I'm going to pay you?

Dude, in this case It would cost the culprit about $100 and avoid the risk of being seen/reported. What goes around comes around and If you think like that then the $100 will be $1000 in your case so better watch out.
It happened at my work recently - on Murray St behind Mt Sinai and PMH. Lots of bike s in the back in the summer. A car tipped over a Ninja into a Ducati. Luckily the Duke held both bikes up but the driver just took off. I was too far to see the plates on the car but I was sooooo mad. And neither of the bikes were mine.

accidents do happen and will continue to happen no matter how careful one is. The point is that's why we have insurance so own up if you screw up.
A stock side panel can run better than $700.00 and a stock decal can cost $100.00. Frequently the one doesn't come with the other, by default. Drop a stock '11 Gixxer 600 on both sides, in a parking lot, and it's about 50/50 regarding a write-off, via insurance.
Tell that to the idiots on autotrader
Damn - thats where I park my Ducati - and I think I'm the only one with a Ducati that parks there!! Was it a black s4r? I will have to check for damage myself!!
Anyway, I take a harder stance towards this - when my Duc was three weeks old, some *(^&*&^ in an SUV backed into it - broke the kickstand, pipes, tank - the works....he wanted to do a roadside settle of $1,000...I wasn't sure so i had it checked at Rev - approx $9,000 damage !!! ALWAYS get it checked out - as someone said - these OEM parts are expensive...and as the old adage goes - you broke it, you fix it ...

Buddy, I don't give a crap what you think is a reasonable price to pay. You brake my property you pay to fix it, whatever it costs. If I choose to install expensive aftermarket parts you bet your butt insurance will pay for it and so will you. Or, as noted, you're merely an honourless scumbag.
There is a camera facing the loading dock and an other by the parking entrance, so depending on where you were parked there may be footage. Security there will not look through the footage for you unless the police request it. Not sure if it would be worth your time to file a police report for it concidering it was only $100. Totally depends on you and what kind of time you have to spend. The police may not even ask security for footage.
So what you are saying, if you break a fine china doll, which is worth $100,000, you'd only reimburse the owner $20, because Barbie at Toys'r'Us is worth that much. What a ******.
The reason I'm replying to this thread is to bump it, in the hopes that as many members on this site will see what a nozzle you actually are.
After all this time, I still find it amazing how you speak without knowing anything about what you're talking about. Your argument about insurance is, like most of the nonsense that comes out of your mouth, a load of crap.
I've had insurance compensate me for aftermarket parts on a bike after a collision. The parts were common upgrades, and the insurance company didn't even blink when I claimed them.
The reason why SOME insurance companies wouldn't compensate for UNREASONABLE upgrades is because you didn't report them, and so the insurance premiums you were paying didn't reflect the ACTUAL value of the motorcycle. Why some folks do this is beyond me, as collision and comprehensive are small parts of the policy - the liability is the expensive part, but whatever. If that's your position, Pegga-nozzle, then man up, stick around, claim it through YOUR insurance because it was YOUR fault and let the insurance companies sort it out.
Choosing not to go through insurance, why should you pay? Because YOU did it, and the right thing to do is to take responsibility for your actions, like a big boy grown-up.
Stating, as you have multiple times in this thread, that you wouldn't even consider doing the right thing, makes you a bad person.
