A friend of mine recently had a small tumble with his GSA, nothing too serious, he even rode it home, mostly cosmetic damage, i.e. screen, mirror, dent in the tank, etc. He then took it to his nearest BMW dealership for an insurance quote.
BMW’s quote = R82 000!!!! Thus the assessor advises that the bike will be written off.

If that isn’t a big enough scam, wait, there is more.....
Within 30 minutes of the assessor telling him that the bike will be written off, he gets 3 phone calls from people willing to pay him money to buy back the bike from the insurance for them. Offers range between R5k and R15k as it seems he has first option of buying the bike back from the insurance company.
