Two weeks before Hurricane Katrina I bought my girlfriend a near perfect cb125, that bike was absolutely mint. After being submerged in 8 feet of water for a week the amount of damage was shocking! The corrosion, rust and grime had taken over every inch of that bike, I literally cried.
After seeing first hand the amount of damage that can be done by flood waters I wouldn't take a flood salvage bike for free!
If you are seriously considering it, make sure to see a detailed record of what was replaced when rebuilt, if they cant provide that then run!

i apologize if im jacking this thread but wanted to ask what is the difference between a SPECO title and Salvage. Im assuming "Special Construction" bikes went thru the process of getting a state issued VIN and passing the class 1 to 3 inspection.
i think SPECO bikes hold better value than salvage or is it in the same par as regular clean titles? please correct if im wrong.

In Utah you buy a bike that was totaled with a Salvage title. You get it to pass State inspection and the State issues a Rebuilt Title.
