having just had a bike wrecked last summer ...
by a careless driver, my experience was much as Geezer described.
The comps will have to be EXACT year, make and model .... and area of the country comes into play. Be sure to print Craig's List ads as the links dissappear quickly.
The insurance company ended up paying me about a grand for the 'totaled' bike, about $500 for loss of use and the PI claim is still in process. My injuries were FAR less than Ivan's. I fixed the bike for a couple of hundred, then recently sold it for 1500 ... nearly breaking even on my total investment in the bike.
On the bright side for Ivan: his PI settlement will likely run into the tens of thousands and, as long as he recovers well, will probably be able get another XS11 to ride and enjoy ... hopefully with bucks to spare for his pain and suffering.

Just bought a 1980 Special that has been non oped for 9 years. My Skoot will rise from the ashes and be re named "The Phoenix!"
