depending on the extent of the damage yes i have nothing against salvaged bikes. there is a HUGE difference between wrecked and repairable damage. wrecked would be frame damage, repairable would be it needs new forks.

If you are 100% ABSOLUTELY SURE that it's only cosmetic, then yes, it's perfectly fine. But unless you are a motorcycle mechanic and know for sure that there's no underlying damage you can't see, then no. Have it checked out by a trusted shop to make sure the forks aren't bent, or that you didn't spin the head bearing, bend a wheel, etc. etc.
