What is a salvage title motorcycle?
A salvage title motorcycle means that the bike is declared a total loss after an accident. Insurance companies declare motorcycles a total loss when repairs cost a high percentage of the bike’s value. Typically, providers declare this loss if repairs total between 75% and 90% of the market value. The provider sells the motorcycle to a salvage company who then registers it with a salvage title.Some states won’t allow rebuilt titles for bikes that are declared nonrepairable, meaning you can’t ride on public roads only private property.
