I disagree... I live in California and my motorcycle just got totaled in May. Insurance law in this state says they have to pay you what the EXACT same car/bike would cost if you bought it used. If the car is a total loss, then the insurance company determined it's more expensive to fix it than to just buy a replacement. Why would you then want to buy the salvage car and try to fix it? Maybe you could cut some corners and save some money, but in the end you'd spend close to the replacement cost, have a car with a salvage title, and it may never be quite right. When the insurance company offered to sell me my salvaged bike, I told them to shove it and took the money - more than enough to buy a bike just like it that's never been wrecked. I'd prefer the peace of mind knowing that everything is straight and in good order with a newer, un-wrecked vehicle. Just my 2 cents too....
