i am about to go look at a bike. its a 06 600rr. its a salvaged title. it does not look bad besides there is a dent in the frame by the tank on the right side. i will post link with pic. that do you think? safe? will it ride straight and handle like normal? thanks

idk that dent looks pretty bad in the pix and for that kind of money i say its not worth it. but the picture could look worse then it actually is. so its best to go there and look @ it in person

 

Doesn't look like it would affect preformance at all but good luck getting the bike to pass an inspection. In order to register a salvage title, I think the bike has to go thru a DOT inspection...flawed frame probably not good. It's too bad, that bike looks like it's ready to roll.

 

so a dented frame will not pass inspection?

 

I think it also is kinda on the pricey side for a salvage title... my vote is it would be safe to ride, but i think it's more of a streetfighter/stunter/project bike candidate which makes it way too expensive...

 

alright thanks for your input. i am not even going to bother driving up to look at it. the more i think about it. its going to be a pain to sell next year if i wanted to.

 

i agree with them.. dent looks pretty bad.. and i sold my 04600rr in mint condition for $4500 with a clean title.. i would not buy it..
plenty of better deals will be available soon..
just remember us up here in PA/NY have only had the bikes out of the garage a couple of weeks.. most people havent even cleaned thiers yet.. lol..

be patient.. nothing worse than buying a lemon.

 

Anything that has a dent in the frame is not worth riding fast on...pure lunacy...that bike is for a stunter and any sucker that buys it is paying WAY too much for it. Salvage bike should be $2,000.

There is a way around salvage titles my stunter friends found...Vermont WILL give you a CLEAN title for a SALVAGE title if you bring the bike for inspection up there...register it there and then bring it back to your state and switch the clean title over to your state.
