Found this all the way up in aptos. Talked the guy down to 2800. Seems like everything is meticulously maintained. Looks clean too aside from the fairing damage which isnt too bad. SALVAGE TITLE though which im guessing is a result of what he listed. Whats your input on this? I need to drive 5 hours up there to pick it up. Pass or Take? Im really considering taking it

The salvaged title is because he wrecked it and totaled it out. the patch job on the front looks good, and it does come with the a new tail piece, but there is only one problem.

he lied about not having enough time to ride (i can tell cuz he wants a different bike) so if he lied about something as trivial as that, then why would he tell the truth about the other stuff.

the price is a decent price, not insane, but decent. but the biggest thing is that the common rule is salvage tittle = half price. and 2800 isnt really half.

the 636 is my dream bike and if it was me i would pull the trigger, just seems risky
