People paying better than top dollar now for bikes . But they also expect the value to hold. Salvage title just not worth it,use you get it dirty cheap and keep it to the end.

If buying, I would pay maybe $5k, planning to keep it until either I, or the bike, die...
If selling, and a buyer who understands salvage titles made an offer of $7,500, I would jump on it so fast it would scare the buyer.....!
If I got someone to pay more, who knows nothing about a salvage title and what it means.... Then, IMHO, it means I have no integrity..

Cash for that bike with a good title I would be @10k with some wiggle room as a buyer. Salvaged tittle to me is 35-40% off that price. If I really liked the bike and had to have it I would offer 5500 with a little wiggle room. That said I would never buy a salvaged tittle vehicle on a common item.

I've seen a couple of "Salvaged Title" scooters give years of service ... As mentioned it all depends on what kind of damage made it a salvage ... As a keeper it can be a great deal ... For resale, not so much

He lost control on highway when someone cut him off a few years ago. The bike never hit anything he wound up hitting the grasss and the bike went down. Forks were not bent or frame. Insurance totaled it and he bought it back
