Rebuild or sell?

Well I wasn't paying good enough attention to the road and came up on a corner that I wasn't expecting.  Ended up going off the road and hitting a ditch.  Here is what it looks like now.
2005 cbr600F4i




 
I think about every piece of plastic on it is broken and the forks are bent back.  Not sure what all mechanical is messed up, I just know that the whole front end is pretty much smashed.  How much would I end up spending to fix it? 

That really sucks. I 'm would think that it would be a minimum 3k. Somebody else will probably give you a better assessment.

scrap it, it's not worth fixing hope you had insurance.

  Not full coverage...

Damn man hope you are at least OK, but the bike is trashed. I was always told never to ride a bike that had been crashed that bad, gives off bad juju! Sorry to see that.

You pansys, it's not that bad. Look up the cost of a set of new/used forks, radiator, and the plastic is about the most expensive part you'll need to buy. The tank looks a little tweaked as well as the exhaust can so that might be another cost, I've ridden with a tank in much worse shape...<---see avatar.
 
I would put money that the rims and rotors are fine. Just don't leave a fork rest on the rotors if their touching, that will definatlly cause it to warp. Not sure if your the type that won't ride anything other than a sportbike, but you can always go naked! Just leave the front and sides off and get a headlight pod in it's place. Not the prettiest look, but the bike will still perform like your old F4i.

if you do the work yourself, problably $3k to make it like new, but you could probably ebay and buy used parts for most of it and have it back together for about $2k
 
I have rebuilt an F4i more than once, off the top of my head I would say:
 
upper new      $500
headlight       $300
side fairing     $300
exhaust         $300
upper fairing stay$150
forks (used)     $250
radiator      ???
plus $500 for stuff unseen
 

Street Figher it..

and buy a complete 954 Front end so you can have inverted forks and better brakes :)

mine was 10x worse thn that..and i fixed mine for about $1,000 just buy used parts and do all the work your self..thats not that bad at all..

can i buy your brake lever? haha.. joking sorry

Thanks for all the replies.  I am thinking I will rebuild right now.  One thing I was questioning is if the frame could be bent.  How can I tell if it is and would that scrap it all together?

your frame shouldnt be bent..you can have your forks bent back by a machine shop for like $50.00..(around here atleast)and just buy used for the rest of the stuff..like i said..i was sitting in a way worse spot..and i got mine done fast and pretty cheap..just shop around for the right parts.

before.


After



just take your time and maybe get some help..shouldnt be to bad of a repair...how are you body wise? no major injuries?

I would say I am lucky no broken bones or anything, just took a major shot to the head.  I was wearing a helmet but it still gave me quite a hit.  The only other injury was to the groin, as you can see the tank is now smashed in and there is only one place that can hit there...   but besides some pretty bad bruising down there, I think I will be ok as long as I sit down very slowly.
 
How long did it take you to get your bike going again?

once i came up with all the money and waited about 3 weeks for all the parts..about 2 weekends..but thats only 12 hours each weekend..not including paint time..it was a project..but i learned ALOT and i am glad i did it.

The rear subframe may be off a little if it hit hard, but judging from the pics, the plastic isn't cracked even, so that should be good. As for the frame, just look it over for things that look outta place, if there's scuffed paint, just look close and you'll be able to tell. Also from the looks of it, I think that your fairing stay is even still good so that just shows that the bike wasn't rattled too bad.
