What do you think?

I just recently sold my 2003 ZX-6R, salvage title, for $2000 and I thought it was a pretty good deal. Granted, it had tons of miles (I think around 40K), but it was in good condition, always took good care of it and I was the one who re-built it so I know it was in ok shape.

Dang. I miss my bike. lol

Yes, barring a job. I'm applying at the Big 4 for their training programs as we speak. Starting to look for towns/apartments to live too.

To wind it up, a "salvage" titled bike isn't necessarily a bad deal; you just need to be extremely careful about checking it out and need to understand that they will NEVER be worth more than about 75% of rough or wholesale book....NEVER.

Which puts the "value" (whatever THAT means) of that bike at about $1800-2000 bucks:

JMHO

Good Luck!

I could listen to you talk about bikes all day. I have so much to learn. As much as I want the thing, I might hold off. I can't buy on impulse. Miles are about 15,5xx...

What year blades are we talking? As far as F3... I'm done with carbs. I hate dealing with all the bullshit.

Talk to some of the other guys on there... They may have ridden with the guy and could tell you about him and his machine. I've ridden with some of the guys on there, but can't remember if this guy was one of them... Find Eaglerider or whatever his name is on there... he does a lot of rides with people on there and may have ridden with this guy... He's a straight up dude and keeps his shit nice. He used to ride a DRZ-SM... tell him OSP, the dude that wadded up his Buell while following him on rt-56 says hello and tell him to come over here...
