Painted and repaired panels are rarely a perfect match especially on a Busa with the various metallics. The better Insurance companies have realised this and tend to buy New panels where possible to avoid the pain of frustrated owners.
Personally I pay a fair dollar for Insurance so I would expect the bike to be in as good a condition as before the accident. Straightening Subframes and the like could be an opening down the track for the Insurance Company or repairer to be sued so generally it doesnt happen as they want to avoid any comeback. Similarly any external scrapes could be hiding something more and it just isnt worth the time or hassle.
As much as we dislike them they are looking out for everyones interest. The only problem with all this is some Insurers depending on Circumstances dont Reinsure after a Write-Off as you are seen as a risk. Unfortunately it will probably be Tim's rating that gets a hammering and not his mate. Something to consider when loaning your bike out!
What ever they do Tim will a new or like new ride like Busgo said and probably be off the Road for a Month or Two minimum.
