In the condition it's in, with a salvage title? NOt worth much. I don't know if I would pay 2,000. Perhaps.

I wouldn't pay more that 1200-1300....  Too many plastics damaged.  Plus everything else.

Yea, maybe 2000 tops.  That's assuming that the frame, forks and swingarm are straight.

$1500 would be as high as I would go...especially with a salvage title.

If you can get it for that great. The plastics aren't a concern. Make it a K.

The bike looks like it may have been lowsided at slow speed.  Too much plastic is broken.  If you wanted to replace all the plastics to get it in original shape would cost you about $1000-1300.  I wouldn't pay more than $1400-1500 for it.  Even if you strip it to a naked bike, you'll still spend ~ $4-500 on the tail plastics, headlight, turn signals, mirrors, handlebar, bar-ends, clutch lever, etc...
