ORIGINAL: sixs929
Got a 2001 with 8900 miles last September for $3500 - a little rash, but the price was cheap cause it had a "rebuilt" title. The bike was beautiful, but when you buy one, you can't insure it for anything but liability - no collision, theft, nothing. So who's gonna spend $6k on a bike you can't insure? It's way more bike than I could otherwise afford.
What do you mean you can't insure it for anything buy liability? Thats not true at all. Unless your driving record is that bad that your insurance carrier refuses to insure you. Thats not good advice, its misleading. You can't insure YOUR bike because a "rebuilt" vehicle of ANY kind CANNOT by LAW be insured for more than liabilty. A rebuilt title means it was a salvaged bike, either totalled by an insurance company, or built from parts on a salavaged frame. Either way, THAT is the reason you can't insure it. Its considered a wreck already because it was totalled by an insurance company and paid for once. One vehicle cannot be paid for twice by insurance, which is why its illegal to insure a rebuild for collision or comprehensive. Same with a car. An "R" title, or rebuild is for all intents and purposes, a "non vehicle" in the eyes on an insurance company. You cant even trade a rebuilt vehicle at a dealership.
$3500 for a "Rebuilt" title WITH rash? Bad deal, plain and simple.
I agree with Dragonmaster, $6K would be a decent buy for that bike with those miles if its a very clean bike. But you could probably get him down to 5,800. Regardless of the blue book, 929's DO in fact have a good resale value, as they are still a popular bike and much looked for.
As far as buying a bike with road rash... well, look at what it will cost to fix it back to like new, and THEN decide if its a good deal. Most times NO. Road rash usualy means beat to death, and could have a number of other problems hiding (ie: bent fork, internal engine damage, etc.) that you might not see right away. You are ALWAYS better off with a good clean bike with no damage.

WOW!!!
I've never been yelled at so long by a guy I totally agree with!!!
ouch.....
Obviously, I didn't go into enough detail or say it very clearly, and for that I do sincerely appologize, I mean that. Misleading ANYONE is never my goal.
When I said "you can't insure 'one' ", the "one" I was referring to was a rebuilt bike. I should have been clearer.
As soon as I finish refurbishing the very minor rash on my bike and adding a custom paint job, it will be aesthetically pristine and mechannically perfect ( which it was when I bought it, as I also forgot to mention ) and, based on some of the outlandish deals I've seen take place lately, it will be worth every dime I spent, which was nearly 3 thousand dollars less than a bike with a clean title.
We each get to decide for ourselves.
And son, I am a federally licensed aircraft mechanic who's 48 years old to boot - I haven't been running through this thing blind. And I would certainly never bash a fellow forum member in front of his colleages like that.

Also -
Bikechick, you are in a unique position to add to this particular conversation.
I would be interested, and hopefully better informed ( for better or worse ) if you'd update us on how much you bought your bike for, whether it was a 'rebuilt' already when you bought it, what you'd be asking for it and so forth.
Your story could help the rest of us see the whole picture. I've not heard much about salvage bikes on this forum.
I dunno, like I said - we all get to decide for ourselves. I personally couldn't afford ( with kids in college, etc ) the kind of sport bike I wanted, so I gave up. Then this one came along and gave me the chance to ride a great bike.
No, I guess a salvage bike doesn't represent a fabulous investment, but it gave me the chance to play a "big boys" game that I otherwise couldn't afford to.
Anyway, bikechick, let us know.
Thanks
Six

Sorry Sixs929, I guess I was a bit too strong in the way I worded what I was saying. I'm a Civil Engineer and tend to make my point to analytically sometimes. I certainly did not mean to bash you, that wasnt my intent. Again, I apologize....

My friend, I can tell by the very classy way you replied that I grossly misread you as well. It's obvious you and I were on the same page the whole time.
One thing for sure, just because I understand a jet doesn't mean I know much about motorcycles - but I'm learning about these terrific machines of ours, and I've learned a good bit of it from you. You clearly know more than the average bear.
Keep postin', brother, and I'll keep listening and learning.
See you on the forum.
