It means the motorcycle was totaled in an accident then restored.

It was wrecked and declared a total loss by the driver's insurance company. It doesn't necessarily mean that the bike is junk, really expensive things like fairings and tanks can get mangled and the bike has depreciated beyond the point where it's worth fixing. A junkyard or mechanic will pick it up for parts and rebuild it.

odds are that the bike was droped and needed at min. plastic or more replaced and the insurance was involved, i take it u are looking to buy it. Just look it over ask if the frame is straight and what all might still need replacing. most salvage bikes just need some touch up — tweeked frame=bad news

Total wrecks don't usually get rebuilt - too expensive, but a bike can be written off by insurance for just cosmetic items.
I purchased a bike that had been written off for a dented tank with badge missing, scratched fork, scratched exhaust, scratched headlight and a few minor bits. All these items are really expensive to replace with O.E.M items and that's what insurance companies have to work on.

It means the bike was 'totaled' probably in an accident.
It might be fine, might have bent frame or tweaked forks.
Buyer beware.
