Why Rebuild Your Bike
The best incentive for buying a salvaged motorcycle is the amount you save. You can easily save thousands of dollars by fixing the bike yourself or bringing it to a specialist. The parts will cost MUCH less than buying a new or undamaged bike.
What if I don’t know how to Fix it
Sure, all it takes is a little time to research where to get parts and hire someone to do the repairs for you. Depending on your skill level, you should look for a bike with the least amount of damage. A few scratches on the fairings or a broken clip-on, for example, will just require some time to buy replacement parts. With so many sites like eBay and Craiglist around today, parts are easy to come by, and usually very cheap compared to buying them new from a dealer.
What to Look For with Salvaged Bikes
Don’t buy a rare or custom bike. You may not pay as much for the bike, but purchasing the parts may put you above where you want to spend. If the parts are not easy to come by, then the cost of each individual part as well as the time to get them will be a lot.
