Topic: CB750 F1 - quoted value?

[78CB750F1]

This isn't really a tech question but I needed the expertise of the SOHC4 members - my 1977 CB750 F1 (French model) was rear-ended today while it was parked on the street and it is a write-off - I can hardly believe that it is true.  The frame is twisted and the crankcase punctured, etc, etc. 

For claiming insurance I have to try and find a written valuation of the this model - does anyone have an "official" quote for a 1977 CB750 F1 (Euro model, same as 1976 U.S. F model).

As well if there are any members who now how it works for accidents such as this in Spain because I don't have a clue...

If I keep the wrecked bike I will let members know because there are a lot of custom parts on it - Kerker, Keihin 29mm, custom seat, clip-ons, etc, etc that I will be selling.

Wish I had good news for you but... the problem in Spain (I don't know how it works on other countries) is that the value of the vehicle depends on the age of it. The older it gets, the less the value. The classic vehicles insurance companies have been trying to make the people who damages a classic vehicle to pay for the real market value, but the only to get it paid is that you had your own insurance on the vehicle. I hope that the other vehicle's company gave you a "siniestro total" declaration, and they offered you a ridiculous amount of money.
Anyway, there is some people that can help you in Spain: "El laboratorio de vehículos históricos" http://lovh.cdf.udc.es/ Contact them and maybe they can make something for you. They are the people who gives the classic vehicles the special plates and help to make street legal vehicles. Also, you can contact any classic vehicles club in Barcelona.
Good luck.
