The notion that the dealer's profit is not reimbursable in their offer is much the same as VAT...........
Second-hand prices are based upon the OTR price of the original bike, in respect to a bike that is that new.
If they don't want to pay what it will cost you to replace - ask them to replace with a bike of similar condition (stating the max age and mileage that you are prepared to entertain)

I think this is exactly what they were saying ie the dealers profit not reimbursed or something to those lines. But I believe they should actually give the OTR Price of a bike that is as old as mine.
So I would class that as their first offer, reject and send them a sale order form from your dealer with cost of replacement bike including extras that were fitted to yours, bike chain etc. Be nice, firm and calm, you will get there

I have rejected their offer. And also sent them the dealer invoice and different quotes of bikes of similar specs which are for sale for more than their valuation. Fingers crossed I will get an offer which is reflective of the true value of the bike when it was stolen.
I know this may sound pointless, but ensure you resend the evidence/reasoning for rejecting the offer, i.e the quotes sales order form, clearly evidencing why that offer is not suitable

Disagree, If I bought a bike new to me three years ago, I could not expect a new model as replacement. It needs to be like for like although I accept in this situation they may as well buy a new one. However I suspect a pre-reg del miles would be the closest if one could be found
