  4. Where is the vehicle? Transportation is a key factor as well. You have to take the vehicle out of the yard to another location of your choice.

The Main Reasons A Bike Is Deemed Salvage:

  1. Damage estimated to be more than 70% of the motorcycle’s total worth;
  2. Stolen and recovered vehicle – Sometimes it takes a long time to recover the bike and the insurance just pays for it;
  3. Flood damage. The vehicle’s worse nightmare.

Pay attention to the title type when you deal with salvage title motorcycles.

  1. Repairable;
  2. Non-repairable/ Parts only

We will tell you some things about damaged vehicles. But before we get to it, we’ll talk about costs and other things. Some people have to work long hours to make good money. Some other people are fortunate enough to belong to a wealthy family and not have the need to work hard. Maybe not even work at all, to acquire whatever they dream of.

If you are one of those people who have a lot of dreams but not the means to get to them, there is something you can do to make most of them come true. There’s something called “salvage vehicles”. I bet you have seen ads like “wrecked motorcycles for sale”. Or even “cheap damaged boats for sale”, but don’t let words like “damaged” or “wrecked” discourage you.

Most Damaged Things Are Repairable, Even Damaged Bikes And Boats

Like most things in life, there is always a way to fix things there are broken. From broken bones to relationships, boats and salvage motorcycles, too, can be salvaged. The thing is that when you get a salvage vehicle, you can actually save a lot of money.  So let’s talk more about your dreams.

Damaged Vehicles for sale
Damaged Vehicles – You Can Find A Lot of Amazing Things At Auctions

Your dream boat or bike cost a lot of money. That’s the way it usually is, right? But then you found an awesome vehicle at a Copart broker, placed a bid and won. You just saved thousands of dollars. Then you bring the salvage bike and salvage boat to a shop or you fix it yourself. Spend a little more money on your vehicle and now it’s up and running, or sailing!

You probably saved thousands of dollars, even with all the fees and repairs and now you are the proud owner of the vehicle you have always wanted.

Living The Dream With Damaged Vehicles

So you have purchased a salvage boat or salvage motorcycle (or both), and consequently, saved a lot of money. You can actually keep your dream alive and invest in something else. For instance, there is that house that you had your eye on for a while now, that costly family vacation, pool table, you name it. Whatever makes you happy.

What we have been trying to say is that those salvage motorcycles or salvage boats for sale can help you save money. And additionally, stimulate to the pursuit of other dreams. Kill two birds with one stone type of thing.

Salvage boats for sale for a great price
Yes. Even Salvage Boats Can Be Bought At Copart Brokers Auctions

Where Can I Buy Damaged Vehicles?

You can go to junkyards or Copart brokers if you want a more reliable way to purchase a salvage vehicle. There’s a huge amount of different damaged vehicles out there. Hail damaged, flood-damaged, totaled vehicles, etc. But the secret is finding out which type of damage best suits you and what you can do with it.

Bike enthusiasts, have you ever thought about buying a salvage motorcycle? If you are a fan or love to repair and resell stuff, purchasing a damaged motorcycle can be a safe bet for you.  The repairable salvage motorcycles for sale usually cost just a fraction of their normal market value.

To be considered a salvage motorcycle, the bike would need repairs that exceed a percentage of the motorcycle’s fair market value. The actual percentage varies from state to state. It usually ranges from 75% to 90% of the motorcycle’s normal listing value in good condition.

A salvage bike like that can be yours for a fraction of the price

In other words, a damage would occur, the owner files for insurance and then the insurance company will calculate the average repair cost. If the repair cost exceeds their threshold – not worth for them to fix it -, it will be declared “totaled”.  After that, a salvage company buys the bike and then registers it as “salvaged”. It’s vital to know that the motorcycle salvage status is permanent in many states, even if the motorcycle has been completely rebuilt.

So Now What? I Want To Put My New Salvage Motorcycles For Sale On The Road

The motorcycle must undergo a series of inspections by a government agency. The DMV or the police department usually does this whenever it’s titled “salvage”. This is the only way it can be allowed back on the road. The agency needs to make sure the motorcycle is in good shape to roam on the streets.

For instance, the agency will evaluate if the motorcycle is working properly. In other words, check if it has proper braking, functioning turn signals, taillights and headlights, and other criteria may vary by region.

The motorcycle may also be tested on things like emissions and frame integrity.

In addition, when your bike passes all the evaluations required by law, it’s time to get insurance. Like every vehicle on the road, repaired salvage motorcycles also require mandatory liability insurance. This includes damage to property and bodily harm coverages. You will probably need to shop around to find the best insurance for you, for many insurance companies can’t accurately assess the real value of a salvaged bike.

Salvage motorcycles. Being a rebel, a biker with a passion or just a person that doesn’t like four-wheeled vehicles can cost you a lot of money.

The dream of getting your motor runnin’, heading out on the highway, lookin’ for adventure and whatever comes your way becomes even more tangible if you find good, repairable motorcycles for sale.

Get your motor runnin’

Cool. So You Want Me To Find Damaged Motorcycles For Sale And Then What?

Whoa. Hold your horses, Steve McQueen. You probably have a bike model in mind, correct?

You can actually go to a Copart Broker (if you want a safe and reliable place to look for repairable salvage motorcycles), find your dream bike. After you find “the one”, you register and then place preliminary bids at any time up to one hour before the start of the live auction.

Before you ask “What isCopart?”, we shall give you the answer to that right now. Founded in 1982, Copart is a provider of online vehicle auction and remarketing services in the US, Canada and the United Kingdom, which has also acquired operations in Brazil, Germany, Spain, Ireland, Finland, and the United Arab Emirates. It is open to the public. No license needed!

So, let’s say you bid and you win. You are off to a great start! Onto the next step we go!

Racing With The Wind… Not Yet

After you are declared the winner of the bidding war, you can’t just hop on your bike and take off. Actually, you can’t even turn your motorcycle on and test it. The first thing you have to do is to arrange transportation from the location to your preferred address.

This is where it gets (more) interesting. If you have any basic knowledge of how to fix motorcycles, you can save even more money. Some bikes might have been stolen and then recovered after the insurance company had settled with the owner, so even though they are considered salvage, they have little to no damage on them.

Born to be wild

It is also a good idea to find out your state’s qualifications and rules for salvage. In order to know if your bike is in good condition to be on the streets, it must pass a safety inspection to qualify as rebuilt. Most states require that inspection approval. If your rebuilt bike doesn’t get approved, then you have thousands of dollars worth of parts.

Like A True Nature’s Child With Salvage Motorcycles

If everything goes well and you finally got the approval and is ready to go, don’t forget the most important thing: your helmet.

Flood Damaged Harley

Honestly, my first reaction is always to tell people to stay away. But, to be fair, I’ll tell you why you should consider buying a water-damaged bike. I will also tell you why not to buy one.

Five Reasons To Get A Flood Damaged Salvage Motorcycle:

  1. If you absolutely know what you are doing with a wrench on a bike. You’ve rebuilt motorcycles, done complete teardowns, and, above all, have infinite patience;
  2. People Do It Already. People fix flood-damaged bikes all the time. For example, motorcycle enthusiasts in the Philippines – a region known for tropical monsoons and flooding – have documented the process for cleaning Honda motorcycles;
  3. A motorcycle is not a car. Repairing a flood damaged car is a nightmare. A good part of a car wasn’t designed to be out in the open. Motorcycles are designed to deal with the elements. Therefore, motorcycle parts can be pretty resilient;
  4. Moving parts can be inspected, dried and repaired: engines, forks, and bearings can be taken apart fairly easily and set out to dry in a normal garage;
  5. You can do it on a budget. You can buy a flood salvage bike cheap. If you do the work yourself and find good cheap sources for parts, you can save a lot of money.

Five Reasons NOT To Get A Flood Damaged Salvage Motorcycle

Water In Salvage Harley Davidson Motorcycle
Look at the water inside!
  1. Water gets into everything. Water goes into any small or hollow opening. It floods the fuel tank and works its way into the fuel system. Liquid seeps into cables, gauges, pistons, bearings, cylinders, crankcase, plugs, etc.;
  2. Water damage can appear months after the flooding. Water gets in everywhere (see #1), and quietly corrodes from the inside. Motorcycles have metal, composite, plastics, rubber, glass, and leather. Water basically destroys just about every one of those things over time;
  3. Flood water is not just “water”. Flood water can come with salt water, fuels, oils, chemicals, sludge, sewage, etc. These chemicals can be really toxic to a bike;
  4. You don’t know how long it was underwater. Most articles about repairing “flooded bikes” are for people who just pulled their bikes out of the water. They are able to do emergency work, like hosing down the bike with clean water and emptying out gas tanks. Now, about these motorcycles being auctioned today, how long were they underwater? Who knows?
  5. Forget resale value, collision insurance, trade-ins or getting financing. Once that bike gets “flood” on the title, it will mark the motorcycle for life. As a result, insurers won’t want to touch it, dealers won’t accept it for trade-ins. Too much risk to insure or put on your showroom.

Another Flood Victim

CONCLUSION

There you have it, both sides to the argument. Most importantly, I’d say stay away, if I didn’t have any knowledge. On the other hand, if you are a master mechanic with a lot of time, go for it. Otherwise, do not touch it!

You’ve been looking for a used bike and decided to go the salvage motorcycle route. Great! Now, it’s time to actually get out there and start shopping. But before you bid, if possible, you need to personally inspect salvage motorcycles you plan on bidding on.

If this is your first time, try to bid on motorcycles you can personally look at before buying. Always have an experienced mechanic look at the bikes you want to bid on. Do not substitute your judgment for that of the mechanic. But make sure to give the bike a personal inspection to check for things that might be out in the open – but not shown in pictures.

First Things First

Treat this like you are buying any vehicle. Yes, it is a salvage bike. But still, give it the same kind of inspection you would buying any other used bike. Buy the best motorcycle that you can find at the best price. Look for what exactly needs to be repaired or replaced. There will be damage, but you want to make sure the damage was limited to what was disclosed. Any more items that need to be fixed and your repair bill starts climbing.

Things To Look For When You Inspect A Salvage Bike

You probably won’t be able to fire the thing up, much less go on a test ride. But, there is plenty you can look at. Most importantly, this is by no means a comprehensive list, just some general points:

  1. Run the VIN number. People make mistakes. Sometimes a “hot” bike might make it to the auction floor.
  2. Ask whether you can sit on the motorcycle. That way you can check on several components at once.
  3. Is there fluid leaking? Or signs that fluid and oil have leaked on the engine or other parts of the bike?
  4. Are the steering head bearings loose and/or worn?
  5. Look closely at the fork tubes. Are they straight? Signs of fixes (repaint, welds)?
  6. Inspect the frame closely. Are there signs of welding, grinding or new paint?
  7. Look at the tread wear on the tires. Even if the motorcycle has been sitting around for a while, you can still tell a lot from the wear pattern on the wheels. Look for signs the bike was driven hard.
  8. Look at points that would make contact with the road. That shows collision or hard-riding damage. As Lemmy from Revzilla tells us: “Footpegs, levers and bar ends” will “often curl when they hit the pavement.” So look for signs of that damage – or from hasty repairs.
  9. Look at the tank. Open it up and look inside. Is it dirty or rusty?
  10. Does the electrical have a lot of new electrical tape and loose wires? Sign that someone played around with the wiring and did not do a good job.

Harley Damage In The Tank

And The Conclusion Is?

Those are just some initial points you should take into consideration when inspecting a salvage bike. ALWAYS have an actual mechanic look it over. This is more like an initial check-up looking to find big disqualifying items. You can always go back and search for other salvage bikes to bid on.

Salvage motorcycles can bring a lot of joy when you get to repair one
The calm before…

Dealing with salvage vehicles can be time-consuming, but it doesn’t mean it can’t be fun! First of all, you don’t need to spend a fortune on this hobby. The more knowledge you have on fixing them, the more money you will save. Some salvage motorcycles don’t need much work and can be turned around in a week, which are the ones you need to make a business out of.

That way, you will not spend a whole lot of money fixing an old bike. Also, try not to get emotional, because THAT can make you spend more. If you get caught up in the emotion of classic salvage motorcycles, there’s a change you will bite more than you can chew.

What we are trying to say is: use your head before committing to buy a salvage motorcycle. If you think with your passionate heart, you may leave a fortune behind to get the bike of your dreams.

The Fun Part Of Owning Salvage Motorcycles

If you know what you are doing, or even if you are learning new skills, spending time at your workshop can be a great stress relief. And if you have someone to share that experience with, it is even better.

Rebuilding motorcycles can be a fun pastime between a father and son, a mother and daughter, and the whole family. This can be the perfect opportunity to bond even more with family members!

Going after parts you need. Spending hours fixing a salvage bike you don’t even know it’s going to work. Finally getting it to work. Those situations can bring you emotions as thrilling as riding the bike itself. Okay, not as thrilling, but pretty damn close.

Once you get the hang of the experience, you can start buying and selling salvage motorcycles! Maybe open a side business, or even have it as a main source of income. There are many sites that can help you with finding salvage motorcycles at good prices.

Important: Tips When Buying At Salvage Auctions Online

If you know what you are doing, you get to save even more money on salvage motorcycles
A bike like this can be yours for cheap

Understanding the whole process is really important. We can’t emphasize it enough. To help you make it through the online auction, here are some tips. Like we said before, you need to have an idea about the amount of time and money it will take to restore your purchase.

Again, if you have some knowledge, it will help you a lot. If you don’t, take a mechanic to the auction. It will be very useful to begin estimating how much money and time you will spend on repairs.

But before you do anything, it’s a great idea to brush up on your state’s laws regarding salvage vehicles in general. Really! Don’t even bid before you do that. Some states will not allow drivers to drive salvage vehicles on their roads. So you will want to avoid unnecessary headaches.

Hopefully, we helped you!

Honda is a classic name in motorcycles. The car-making giant founded by Soichiro Honda in 1949 started out as a motorcycle maker. That’s where it earned its reputation for well-engineered motors and high-quality manufacturing standards. Starting with small motorcycles in the early ’60s, it made a name for itself in the United States. As of 2019, it is the most-sold motorcycle in America and the world.

Whether it is their sport bikes, cruisers, sport tourers, off-road or ATV’s, they are among the most beloved bikes in America. They can get very pricey too, even in the used motorcycle market. If you want to buy one, you can find yourself spending quite a bit of money. But you do have another alternative.

Salvage Honda Motorcycles – A Great Option to Find Cheap Honda Bikes

Consider the salvage motorcycle market. Damaged, repossessed, stolen-and-recovered, and dealer trade-in bikes are sold at auctions. Plenty of Honda bikes sell this way. These are places where entire lots of motorcycles are snapped up by business buyers at hugely discounted prices.

But aren’t salvage auctions just for dealers and dismantlers? Well, that used to be the case. Now, you can find brokers who participate on your behalf. Also, you can get prices that wholesalers and dealers get when they are on the lookout for models to sell.

Bidding on Salvage Honda Motorcycles Can Save You A Lot!

Consider the advantages. You can find a top Honda model for a fraction of the cost. Then supervise its repair – or do it yourself. Parts are plentiful for most models. You will end up paying much less than if you bought a used motorcycle at the dealership or in a private sale.
