If you go through your insurance company for ANY amount of repair to a bike then it will end in a salvage title. Therefore, the owner must weigh the options of deductible and salvage title or pay out of pocket with clean title (for minor damages).
For example, this bike still has a clean title because the owner neglected to get insurance.
