I'm not being deliberately dim, but what does he mean by a "thrashed
coast motor". I can't even see a likely typo.

Looking at the photo's you posted, I dunno - it looks mainly cosmetic to
me - or are the forks actually bent/badly damaged?

Quite. I've never understood it either. Cars and bikes are inaminate
objects. They are things. The word to use is "it".

Mine never did. I really need to get out and see it; it's still lying
in a gently corroding heap in my uncle's yard. I need the Scottoiler
off it for the 1200, and to see if I can rescue any bits for those in
need/eBay. I suppose if the seat's still intact, it'll be worth
something? Probably has pucker marks in it, given the
circumstances...

Assuming it hasn't suffered as a result of the accident, you're on.
Won't be able to see it before next weekend, though.
