Salvage Titles/bikes

I've been told either it works out or its a nightmare. Salvage title is still a title. It just means that it was damaged more than its worth. Does not mean the vehicle/bike is worthless. Depending on your state you can rebuild the title to a normal title. Takes time and money.

I dont know about getting a salvage insured but being legal to ride on the road is fine. Just don't expect a good resale value. People see salvage and look away. There's a guy here the sells salvaged bikes. Mainly plastic damage and he replaces and they look brand new again.
