Just picked up the latest edition of Cycle Trader, and found the following:

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Cycle Trader &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">
1997 Honda CBR600F3, light plastic damage, runs & drives, only 5k miles, priced to sell, $2,495, rebuildable, Cycle Recyclers </TD></TR></TABLE>

now... is 'rebuildable' the operative word? they didnt mention any mechanical problems. is that 2500 dollar price tag way low?

i'm thinking i'll call to see what needs to be replaced.

 

"rebuildable" could be anything. id take a look at it in person before a made another move.

 

If its a beat bike the price aint THAT good. my boy picked up his 97 F3 for 3k... working.

 

rebuildable kinda scares me...i would say take a look at it in person.

I believe the "rebuildable" term refers to the title of the bike. Some come with clean titles, some with salvage. Rebuildable means that the bike can be fixed and retitled with a "clear" title.

 

salvage means it cant be fixed and become "clear" again, right?

 

Salvaged is a write off - you can stil purchase and re-title a salvage vehicle.

Rebuildable - that just opens a door of opportunity.

What's rebuildable to them prolly isn't to most people (at least not economically).
