Hey guys, looking for a xb9sx or xb12s and came across this: http://richmond.craigslist.org/mcd/3002633028.html

I called the guy and asked about the buell with a salvage title. He said it's a clean title. I said the ad says it's a branded title. He says it's a rebuilt title. whatever. He said it was laid down and made it sound like all they did was replace some footpegs. I asked about the frame and he said it wasn't damaged because it had frame sliders. Anyway, do you guys think I should just forget about this bike and walk away or is it worth getting excited about? I'm in DC; Richmond is a couple hours away so it's not something I can just swing by after work to take a look.

I emailed the guy last week before I bought mine and he seemed shady. There are two types of branded titles from what I read, one being rebuilt and the other I don't recall. The rebuilt one will be changed to a normal title when you get it, the other will always be branded as salvage or whatever. Google "branded title" and it will help. Either way I didn't trust the guy to purchase and ship.
