Salvage + Rebuilt Motorcycles | Should You Buy One?

[@jamesireland9188]

Alot of times insurance companies will total a car or bike out and it had minor damage. I have seen plenty of times where it's just cosmetic .

[@slowrider05]

happened to mine today, all it needs is fairings and mirrors and they totaled it

[@RexiRexx87]

Here in Michigan, salvage and rebuilt are different things. Salvage means it’s in a junk yard or auction waiting to be sold and isn’t legal to drive because of the damage. However, rebuilt means you bought a salvage vehicle, fixed it up, got it inspected, and the state issued a rebuilt title

Best bike I have ever owned had a salvage title. Wish I still had that bike 😭😭😭

[@principlemethods5281]

What bike?

[@tilleypatrickpt]

@@principlemethods5281 Harley Night Train, springer front end, true duals. loved that bike. Got rid of it being dumb, didnt know what I had until I didn't have it anymore.

Found 2012 cbr600rr salvage for sale, 6k miles she claimed original, new fairings, lots of upgrades, been in the garage for 2yrs. She's asking $3k. I liked the bike, but kinda worried bcoz it's been on fb market since 2019.

[@dujuanjohnson5025]

I like how that bike sounds but bring the quad back!

[@TheTyphoon365]

Holy shit South Dakota! Represent 🤙I'm going back home next month, miss SD for sure.

Then just pass the slow cars on your fast bike, easy! I agree frame, sub-frame, and suspension are key things especially the engine mounts on the frame! Basically here in NC the frame is the vehicle as that is where the vin number is located. If that is trashed then it can be a pain (even though frames are cheap) to get the bike registered once the work is done because the vin wont match the title.

Got a guy trying to trade his 99 sv650 rebuilt. Sounds good haven't rode it yet for my 2006 honda shadow 750

[@sodacitysignshopcolumbia1967]

Was hoping you might cover the insurance aspect of covering a salvage motorcycle and who you use, how difficult it was to acquire a policy, etc. Feedback would be appreciated!

[@smartmovedae6285]

You ever get any answers on this? In the process now

[@sodacitysignshopcolumbia1967]

@@smartmovedae6285 According to a local bike builder, in SC it's required to have matching VIN stamps on the motor and the frame. This article talks about a couple different options: www.motorcyclezombies.com/register-title-motorcycle/register-old-motorcycle-south-carolina/ ...Evidently Vermont is a state where many folks register non-titled bikes.

[@slowrider05]

u can’t insure a salvage vehicle but if u get it inspected and is eligible for rebuilt title then you can insure it

[@drchunkybiscuit9973]

Good to see you're back. Prefer the quad though! I have a question. What helmet camera do you use please?

[@Motoposh]

Quad vlog next week for sure! And I use a gopro hero 4 with an external mic

[@mynamejeff2647]

I just found a zx6r on craigslist for 500.00 should I go look at it or just leave it ??? Rebuilt title

[@Motoposh]

I would say that's at least worth a look. Anything that cheap concerns me though. Make sure you check the frame and forks real good, obviously the engine too.

[@mynamejeff2647]

@@Motoposh I emailed them and honestly it sounds like it's either stolen or they are gonna try to rob me when I go look at it just being really weird. It's the 2005 636 with decent amount of carbon fiber and looks brand new with 8k miles on it but if it's real and not stolen I'm getting it

[@mynamejeff2647]

@@Motoposh just gonna bring a gun in case tho

[@ralphwarom2514]

Three words ....DEEP-ENGINE-DAMAGE. CHeck for that as well. If oil is mixing with coolant, XD you will have big problems.

[@zackdavis3986]

What bar end mirrors are those? Can you see decently with them being very angled bars?

[@ryloidstanloid7989]

Hi, just found your channel while getting some more info on the Triumph Daytona. I'm looking to upgrade from my CBR250RR to a 600. I think you've sold me on the Daytona over the GSXR or R6. Do you still think it's a good buy?

[@Motoposh]

Definitely! They are just as reliable if not more and you get a lot more bike with the Daytona

[@danielalvarez959]

Get a R6

[@Motoposh]

R6's are nice and I like Yamaha but everyone has one haha

[@notkc9244]

MotoPosh that's why I bought my Daytona. It's a different bike that's even better. Some ppl don't even know about them. I love my 675 more than my R1.

[@ryloidstanloid7989]

Yeah, because im from Australia they are pretty unique. I've found one for $6K AUD, with 20,000kms. I'm planning on taking a look next weekend

[@MONDIZY01]

You didn’t mention anything about stolen recovery ?

[@deevee8595]

There isnt any 😅😂

[@bryanj4811]

Bro how hot does your bike get? All the way to the top? Mi guage is almost to the top, today i stopped, and the coolant came out splashing from the little tank, it sounded like it was bubbling hot, whats going on?:(... same bike as yours!

[@Motoposh]

Mine rarely ever gets to 6 bars (1 over the normal operating temperature of 5) sounds like either your fan isn't working or you have some air bubbles in your coolant system. Definitely need to get that checked out asap man! Hope everything turns out good for you and your bike

[@bryanj4811]

MotoPosh For sure man thanks!!
