Subject: [dc-cycles]  Titling a 'salvage' bike in MD?

There's an R1100R on the 'Bay - which I need to buy like I need a
pregnant teenaged girlfriend - but nonetheless has me intrigued.  The
listing says it has  a NY 'repairable salvage title.'  That's got me
wondering:  what would be the potential problems trying to register that
bike in Maryland?

I would stay away from that one.
To get it titled & registered in MD, I think you'll need to;

1) get it repaired
2) get it inspected by NY state official which takes like an year from what
I've heard.
3) get 'rebuilt / reconstructed' title in NY
4) title/register in MD

OR

buy it cheap, turn it in to track 'only' bike.
I recently got a pretty cheap salvage titled 2005 GSX-R600 from upstate NY
as a race bike for this season.

Are you sure?   I would contact the maryland mva salvage inspection
division in glen burnie.

You may only need to show them the bike. Let them inspect the vin and
engine numbers. Let the sign off on the title as nspected, then go to
mva and get tags and title.

I have taken an out of state salvage title through them before.. but I
do not know about NY laws specifcally, so I refer you to the maryland
MVA for the official word.
