Looking at an 2008 Buell xb12Ss for sale by a wrecking/salvage yard in California. They told me they would sell it with a bill of sale and an "acquisition number". California requires a "dismantler" to retitle the bike regardless of condition, and in that process they apparently don't get an actual title. The original owner was an elderly lady who cleaned out her garage. The bike was kept under a blanket for nearly 8 years. It only has 1200 miles and appears to be in near perfect condition. Yes, I planned to have a mechanic service inspect it first.

I have done a VIN search and it shows everything as clean - save it is listed as "salvage". Shows just two owners - the original owner who bought it in September of 2008, and the junkyard who took some kind of title in January 2019.

Will Colorado accept this as a "salvage" title?
