Motorcycle and Scooter appreciation

Looking for some quick lateral thinking please. My friend has just written his bike off four days before our yearly euro trip. The insurer may come through with a shitty 600cc in time but looking at options. A cursory google shows hire companies are wanting some serious deposits and weekly rates, any recommendations?

Er is it a comparable bike? Oh was the accident his fault? If not a comparable bike is allowed. You'd be amazed at what that shitty 600cc is costing the insurance.
