IMO I wouldn't buy a salvage title unless you get a killer deal. They just aren't worth crap if you want to sell. For some reason, people think their dirty title is worth almost what a clean title is. It doesn't take much to get a bike written off, but it's still a bad investment to make on something that is already depreciating asset. A while ago I paid $5k for a clean 04 R1 that I sold a year later for $5.5k. There's nothing wrong with a lot of salvaged titled bike, but if you want to sell, you'll get hosed or sit on it forever. Spend the time and find something you like that's clean.
