should i get this 87 crb 600?
its a 87. the body is in ok condition. it has 58,000 miles. and a salvaged title. the guy who has it said it runs good and he drives it to work every day. the guy wants to trade me for my 89 chevy blazer 4x4. the blazers in ok shape and runs good.
i bought my blazer for 1200.
my problem is the amount of miles on it and the salvaged title. is that too many miles?? and should i worry about the title?

Sure...go ahead and buy it. Everybody's doing it. What...are you scared?? 
No...I'm just kidding.
Seriously, though, welcome to CBRF rock!! You need to check the bike outand make sure that all of the mechanicals are sound and and everything is as it should be. What condition is the body in? Tires? Are there service records? 58k is not all that many miles on a bike if it was cared for and maintained properly. Why was it salvaged? There are a lot of variables hereto work with and we could help you more if you narrowed it down a bit for us. I see you posted this in the 600F section and you shouldget alot more helpful advice from the people in there.
Good luck whatever you do and don't be a stranger in here.

Hyu Brian....
Welcome to the CBRForum mate
I know very little about the salvage thing ( actually some would say I know nothing full stop
)
...as we do not have that exact setup here down under I cannot advise except to say that $1200 is a pretty good price " IF" cosmetically she is in extremely good condition...
The miles are getting up there , but if it runs and sounds ok ..she should not be a problem for quite some time ..
you have fun here ..and ask tons of questions if you need too ok...
iI will more than likely catch you around here again soon ..
