Salvage buyback regrets

[Ed.]

Has anyone bought back their bike as salvage only to regret it?

I went into the back of a car on Monday, came off the bike then got hit by another car.
Went to hospital and very luckily haven't broken anything, my 2010 KTM 990 Smt was recovered by the police.
Insurance are dealing with it and I was initially told it was going to repaired but now it's going to copart for evaluation due to the age.
Police at the scene told me the damage didn't look bad but you never know.

I do like the bike and it would be a shame for it to be scrapped for fairing damage but if it's going to be impossible to sell at some point in the future and there's any niggling doubt about whether it's really ok I not sure it's worth the hassle.
Wondered if anyone had been through it.

Thanks all, if it's a few hundred and with no serious damage it would be a no-brainer.
Should find out in a week.

Um, if for whatever reason you strip it down, I'll buy the oil expansion tank off you! I've been looking for one

Will keep it in mind,
There's one in Texas on ebay

Good news and less good news, valuation is fair but the salvage cost for cat N is 40% of that valuation, £2000.
I know there is damage to the lights and fairing on both sides but I don't know if anything important is bent. I'm told the engineer will have looked for enough damage to make repairs uneconomic but then stopped looking.
The cost and scarcity of some parts might be a a problem.
