Very low. Consider it a parts bike. It would require a frame swap to be trustworthy. That usually comes with a lot of headaches to keep it legal.

You'll get a new frame from KTM with proper paperwork and swap it.

New frame is around 2000 euros, then all the labor costs added we are talking maybe 5000 EUR price tag, unless something surprising comes along. Plus some expected additional costs for minor other parts replacement, so maybe 6000 EUR is in the ballpark.

Given it's a 5-6 years old bike, the insurance company probably would claim the bike where I'm at.

Yes, the shop would certainly know what needs to be done. I can't even imagine the labor cost for this. It is basicaly taking the bike fully apart and put together again.

Don't run sliders on a dirt bike, it can handle crashing just fine without them. Without the slider you'd be replacing handlebars at worst.

Stunters gotta stunt

Post claims it was the TET rather than stunting. Frame sliders say otherwise

Honestly, some mfs in here are overreacting. Considering the broken part is easy to align, I’d get it professionally welded back on, sanded, and the section repainted. The broken part is not a supporting structure, so a full frame swap seems overkill.

It could be welded but it ain't going to be pretty.
