Depending on what you plan on doing... it may not be a bad alternative.
What are the downsides to getting a bike w/ a salvaged title other than re-sale...Can't you get alot of them a clean title somehow...There was a kawi 600 on here for sale a few weeks ago for $3800 w/ one but he said you could get title no problem . I'm new and will be getting a bike very soon and would like to know...

Hey! The only problems I've ever seen with Hondas are clutches now that you mention it.

you guys can't judge honda clutchs just off of mine. my bike had 26000 miles before i fried the first clutch then the next one was a mistake on my part and the third one is alive and well.

Well Forge's Honda clutch went out around that same mileage and the one on my Magna was wearing quickly.
