In most cases, you can get it fixed yourself. When the insurance company totals out a car, that is all they themselves are willing to pay. If you want to pay to have it fixed yourself, most won't care, but your rates may still change depending on the circumstances of the accident.
most of the time, if an insurance company "totals" your equipment, it will pay it off or pay you and then sell it to a junk yard for as much as they can get for it. However, you do have the option to buy your bike at the same price the salvage yard would pay.

Yes, you can usually but it back because it is then between you and the insurance company. But keep in mind your insurance company normally pays the ACV (Actual Cash Value) which may not be what you actually owe on the vehicle unless you carry Gap insurance.
