Your call, Baht 50k and call it new, with no niggling worries, or have it straightened...without seeing pic's I can't say one way or other.
According to the mechanic no issues. They wouldn't do it if it weren't safe. I'll see if I can get a picture later. How much for new fork legs?

That's the fork legs, not the frame...yeah go ahead and have them straightened, no worries. But they're cheap so just as well buy new ones
Yeah I know. Don't have a photo of the neck unfortunately.

Metals strength after flexing changes a lot depending on how much has elastically failed. Not an expert at all but I could tell when I would scrap the frame once I saw the extent of damage close up.
The shop said they wouldn't do anything unless they deem it safe. But I have no clue

There are frame aligning machines. I don't know if they have them here but I expect they would.
Yes it's one of their services. I was mostly worried about the integrity after having it straightened.

I think you know your answer. Ask your gut............what's the first answer that comes to mind? my feeling is, and I agree with you, your first thought is to either buy a new frame or sell it for parts. Even if back home, I might do the same. After an accident, things are never the same and i'm not sure it will be fixed to put your mind at total ease. pretty big risk to take................especially on a bike with that kind of power.
I don't know because I don't have much experience with this.

Just have the boys straighten it out...' be fine.
Thank you. Was reading on reddit and everyone says any slight bend is catastrophic basically... Which made me worried

Just crashed my ninja 600. Two cars suddenly stopped in front of me, panicked and lost traction. Front wheel hit a car. It seems the neck is slightly bent without cracks. Took it to a shop that says it can straighten the neck without any structural issues. What's your opinion on this? Is it safe? Or would it be better to buy a whole new frame? Or sell the bike for parts?
Crashed my ninja possible bent neck?
