wats up. i was wondering how the salvage title affects the price of a bike. Should it bring down the price a lot like how it is w/ a car, or is it different? Im looking at a couple of 929's. Btwn 9k-15k salvage titles, but ride straight, no major mech. problems - anyone have a price range? I searched but didnt come up with much. Any info appreciated.

Also, anyone know about registering/insuring a salvage title bike in New york? do i need some kind of hardcore inspection? i'm figurin if the vin#'s on the motor/frame/title match up it should be no sweat, but ive never bought a salvage title vehicle before. again, any help/input appreciated. thanks

 

i got my 929 for $6500 it had some dings and scratches but it was in alright condition. if its saqlvaged it should be around 5500 or lower

 

Hey man which ever 929's you dont buy let me kno about!!!! I really want one and I dont care about salvage titles as long as the frame isnt tweaked and the motor is good.

As for NYS it sux. From what my friends tell me its just such a pain in the *** to get a rebuilt title. You have to fill out the forms for the title, submit that, then about 6 weeks later (hopefully) they will give you a date to bring your bike in, or atleast all the receipts for what fixed on your bike. *SAVE ALL RECEIPTS FROM PARTS* they wanna make sure none of the stuff was stolen. Then I guess you have to go and get it inspected assuming you pass their test. I guess EVERYTHING must work mint.

My friends dad just called it quits on a bike he was rebuilding cuz NYS was being a usual pain in the ***. I wish I could find a dropped 929 with a clean title

 

I haven't noticed a big difference in the price of a salvaged bike vs. a non-salvaged. When it comes down to it you are buying a bike not a piece of paper. If you are looking for a good 929RR you should check out my site at www.emotos.net. We have several up on the site now and we update the site with new bikes 3 times a week. I just sold a nice 2002 929RR in Florida for around $3,000 (can't remember exact numbers). It needed minor bodywork, but was in great condition. I attached a pics so you can see for yourself.

As for getting a rebuilt title in NY, it is very difficult. However, I can help you in this area and you wouldn't have to do a thing.

Contact me if your interested.
