Without prejudice
got this off bike chat forums..

"I have just spoke to someone at VOSA.

A Motorbike does NOT need a VIC - ever - it only applies to cars.

A Cat C motobike write-off can be repaired by anyone and the only issue is what the insurance company require before they will insure it. Usually they require a new MOT done and that is all.

As for value - Its an unknown, as a well repaired CAT C that only had cosmetic damage would be as good as a non written-off bike..."


but trying to find that on the VOSA website, now that's a little more difficult
