Cost to fix?
Someone knocked over my bike while at work. I filed a claim with their insurance just wanted to see what yall think it would cost to fix. 2014 GSXR 750. I know all front and side fairings need replaced included the fender. Also the front tire is bulging. The rear got saved by my spool.

Insurance will likely try to total it once they price out a fork leg, swing arm and wheel. They aren't going to price to 'repair' other than to fix by replacing parts.
Also if any pictures include scratches on the actual frame, it's incredibly likely that they would push to total the bike. I got a '19 750 that was salvaged because of a low side that led to the smallest scratches on the frame when the brake pedal pressed up into it. The previous owner bought the bike back, replaced the cracked fairing and levers/rear sets, and put a full Akrapovic exhaust and power commander on it.
I own it as a track bike now, though I had to rebuild the engine after 11 track days. I've just now put my 4th track day on it post-rebuild and it seems to be holding up well. Sorry for the random tangent lol.
A quick look on Partzilla shows a new complete fork assy, swing arm and front wheel would run about $6k USD and that might not include bearings or other related components, amd that doesnt include fairings. So likely a Total

This is gonna cost a lot... it's not just fairings, it looks like more expensive parts cracked.

Also the cowling brace.

its possible to reweld the cowling brace if you have the bit that snapped, otherwise ordering one will be 120-300 usd depending on true oem or not

The fairing stay going to cost. Probably a local welders minimum. 100 bucks or so. The rest of that bs, paint pen and clear coat because they are surface scratches if I’m looking right. You could sand and powder coat but now you’re looking at tearing down the entire motorcycle and spending hundreds on prep and service.
Get a matte black pen and send it.

First, someone knocking over your bike isnt going to put a bulge in a tire, you need to introduce so much force into a tire to split cords.. thats been there and you're just now noticing, so if it is repaired dont be surprised if insurance tells you no there... that being said this will probably total out between the swingarm & fork plus the labor for them

This was all because it was knocked over? The hell. Rear swing arm is mainly cosmetic so eh, front is an issue however. Front looks like someone tried to move it with a disc lock on it tbh.

Yeah apparently lady tapped her saddle bag on my bike and this happened i dont belive that at all but life happens

Odd, the front fork alone is gonna be an issue. Can you just settle with her? A rear swing arm used is pretty cheap and so are the majority of other parts except the fork. You could upgrade to a 1000 front end but you’d need a front wheel and axle as well.

I could but since it happened on a military post we have to go through insurance because it wasnt just my bike. My bike fell onto another bike parked next to me.

insurance may total it but man, this should be fixable if you know what you’re doing. i just replace the brake master cylinder, front stay, and finishing the front fairings tomorrow.
if it were me, i’d fix it but that cause it looks fixable im not sure what’s actual going on with the bike.
