Update for everyone - they found my bike ! Tracked some lowlife riding it and pulled him over as he pulled into his driveway. Insurance company has had it towed to Frasers in the city to quote on any necessary repairs (cops said there didn't appear to be any damage though - but I imagine the ignition must have been changed out as I had all the keys).

The insurer did seem to be indicating that it doesn't take much to write these bikes off though, as the salvage value is so high.

if they write it off buy it back on the cheap hopefully!

I thought these bikes wouldnt start without the key/chip. How in the hell he was riding it like if he owned it!?

Exactly my thoughts - must have taken a fair bit of part swapping I would think !

Yeah - will have to see what the cost to repair might be (main concern being ignition/cpu if affected) - but I get the first right of offer before it goes to auction, so this might certainly be on the cards (especially as I FINALLY got it to the track for the first time, just 5 days before it was stolen - SO much potential there!)
