not sure if its the same for Bikes but my mates bike was a class b write off, he bought the bike off the insurance company, re-built it and got an engineers report + MOT making it road legal again.

only problem with this is that it will still be classed as a right off and will be a complete pig trying to sell it, you will hardly get anything for it even thoguh its fully repaired. unless its quite new or you are planning on keeping it for years i would break it mate.

unsure - i have a feeling my next corsa will be a Q-reg with all the work that going to be done to it
from what I know though they do still do Q-reg cars, as there is still a market for kit-cars and such
plus i think my uncle who repaired his daughters golf after a rear end shunt (needed to replace rear quarter & some of the floorplan) managed to get it done & re-register the car under a Q-plate ok (this was about 6 months ago)
