[QUOTE="russperry, post: 1108600, member: 22548"] I feel like I stole the one I got - it was mint condition, never dropped, PO claimed he never even rode it in the rain which I believed by how clean it was (but no longer is). I estimate that he had over $20k into the bike based on the content - Ohlins shock and fork cartridges, Galfer brakes, forged aluminum wheels, full race exhaust. steering damper, Sato rearsets, power commander, etc... I got the whole package for $5k including 6 spare OEM oil filters, chain tool kit, 2 Pitbull stands, and more. Like Karl says, you can find clean street bikes for pretty cheap, or if you want one already set up for the track but don't mind that its been ridden hard, you can go to the WERA classifieds - lots of 600 or liter bikes totally tricked out for the track for a lot less $ than if you tried to do it yourself. I figure when I'm done that I can part out all the high ticket items and sell the stock bike and at worst break even, less all the spend on tires and track days of course [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/IMG] In the mean time I'm having serious fun [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/punk.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
