Unhappy BAD NEWS! Wrecked Her!

So early this morning my stepbrother got hit by a piece of debris coming off the back of a guys truck and got knocked off his motorcycle and the motorcycle flipped and completly wrecked the subframe all the plastics are torn up he has an 05 so he had an undertail yoshi and when the subframe bent when the bike landed on the tail after flipping it also wrecked the pipe wrecked the integrated tail light and everything shes in bad shape but for my stepbrother his whole back is a bloody scab! He is alright but I know you guys love pictures so I figured id share the story and upload some pictures. I took it all apart today and this is what it looks like. Let me know your thoughts about saving it or just buying a new bike.

Yeah I can get a full set of plastics for about $1000 then get a subframe off eBay but then he still needs a new headlight assembly new speedo new tail light and exhaust and some other small items. Lucky for him those $400 Vortex rear sets the bolts broke that go into the frame before the rear set broke so those just need new bolts

well he needs left side nose tail and lower right fairing plastic but yeah and he was wearing a helmet which is cracked so we are very thankful for that because if he wasnt hed probably be dead. He had gloves and jeans on but he was on his way to work and only had his work t shirt on no jacket so thats why his back is all scraped up

Well that does suck. Glad he survived the ordeal though. I have the factory exhaust and I think the factory tail light for an 06 636 which should fit yours. Let me know.
