Cat D's are hard enough to sell on. Cat C's are VERY hard and people are only ever willing to pay breaking value...
I've restored cat D's before to sell on but ONLY because I got the bikes VERY cheap in the first place through my dealership.
Eg. 1999 ZX6R cost me £600. ,
parts were £400
Took me about 20 hours of work and I sold it for £1500. Only feasible because the bike was £600 and I do my own work.
Unless you can buy a bike for VERY cheap and do ALL the spannering yourself, It's seldom worth it unless you're going to keep it or know you can break/sell the parts for your money back.
Do I understand that it will cost you £5000 to buy it back off the insurance company ? That seems VERY high for a right off price.
I don't think you will need to re register it ? CAT C is just un-economical repair but you will need to see the engineers report.
