That's some dedicated stealing.
I think the seat has been changed as well - it's a 2001 model so should be split, I think. Not sure about shock, will have a look tomorrow when it's not raining.

Shock looks standard now I see. Just an external reservoir. Seat though I'm not so sure, as shell looks totally different, which would suggest a lot of changes.

Way more common than you think. A mate of mine in Hanwell had thieves knock a hole in the side of his brick built shed to nick his dirt bikes. My last bike was nicked in broad daylight, with Almax and alarm blaring. It was the middle of the day in front of witnesses on Torrington Place. Loaded in a van and driven off - cops didn't even show up.

Second bike was in a brick garage. Door was smashed off and ground anchor ground off. Just saying.
Fixing stuff on an older bike will be cheaper than insurance dealing with it. Most of the time they just write shit off.
As for personal claim. That....I don't really have much of a view on. I mistrust all insurance companies at this point, so don't really have faith in their 'personal cover'.
Besides, I've read the T&C's on mine and even loss of limb payout is laughable.
That looks nice by the way. Upgraded rear shock? I really wanted one of the previous versions to that. Split seat ones.
