how many of you guys rock salvage tittled bikes? how are they? im thinkin about picking up a clear salvaged f4i with 6xxx mi. for $3500-4000.

 

I think that sounds a little high to pay for a salvage titled bike depending on the year.. But for four grand you can find a good clean titled bike for that amount so why not save yourself the hastle of clearing the title if you want to rock it on the streets.

 

i pick up salvaged title bikes all the time and stunt them. theres many reasons why a bike can have a salvaged title. just make sure the frame, forks, rims, subframe and what not are all straight and youre good to go.

a salvaged title is usually because it was crashed and the total damage was over 50% of what the bike is worth or it was a stolen recovery.

but i wouldnt buy a salvaged title f4i for 3500-4000 no matter what year it is or condition.

 

yo that is high u can find them all day for under 3000 already set up

 

not in cali you cant.. well you can but not often

 

+167646516... clean title ones go for around 5000

 

i thought we were talkin salvaged, u probally wont find a clear title that cheap. sorry about the confusion

 

we are... lol
cali bikes are expensive. clean title f4is with decent miles are at least $5000.
salvage titles cost around $3000-4000 not completely trashed.
its also gonna be a commuter not just a stunter so it cant be trashed.

 

i know its hard to find but i got my f4i clean title with 9000 miles on it for 25000. but it did have a bent swingarm withc was 20 bucks on ebay. bent front right rotor.mismatching plastics and needed another front master. so another way of saving is kinda buying a barely wrecked bike i guess. and my 954 i bought like 2 years ago was salvage title and never had a problem with it till i blew my motor from too many long rev limiters. so yeah. patience will save you money

 

Too High of price..

2200-28000 tops



Otherguys said it right.. Salv titles happen for lots of diff reasons.. SOME low-end laydowns + Tickets = Salv tittle in repairs etc..

Gay laws..

Test drive it.. Parking lot testing = Good parkin lot stunting..

Never under any circumstances take a salv title bike on the road unless u got GREAT MECHANICS..

Personal opinion.. Dont want to get anyone hurt !

But me.. if the rims and swing are straight.. PLAY BALL!

 

I rock one. 01 f4i i bought mine all set up ready to go for 2 grand

 

you can buy a 03-04 600rr for that price. my boy just picked up a 05 600rr with minimal plastic damage for $4000. and that was IN CALI.

you just gotta be patient and dont be one of those newbies that gets ripped off.

 

example of a good deal!

 

here some pics of the bike... salvage title asking $4250 i was gonna try for to get the price in the 3000s. what do you guys think?

 

my boy got one that looked just as clean as that one if not better for $4000 CLEAN TITLE... 4250 is too much IMO

 

Since I started stunting I've always bought salvaged. Why take a dive on an investment that you KNOW will eventually CRASH (pun intended).

 

i paid 3000 for mine with like 6500 or something, 02 f4i salvaged and the headlight did not work. I ended up paying 300 for that and like another 5 or 6 for the cage bar and handbreak,
but the bike hasn't given me a problem so far

 

Clean title F4is sell on stuntusa all the time for less than that. There were a couple on there recently with clean titles for around 3 g's.

 

but there not in northern california

 

i just picked up a salvaged 2003 600 rr already setup with db bars cage and sprocket for 2100.00 look in the classified section lot of cheap bikes there you might have to travel but worth it i traveled 5 hrs for mine 4200.00 is way to much for a salvaged bike
