a 04 f4i with 3k on it with any kind of title will sell for way more than $2000. my question would be, what do you want to do with it? finish half ass fixing it ride it for a year and sell it? or try and make it look perfect again, ride it for a year and sell it? i would do option one in a heartbeat over option two. you have never owned a bike, it is a fast beginner bike, i need to be clear here. you might lay it down, however it has already been hurt, so when you put it down you wont feel so bad. how is the frame/subframe, i would only "run" from it if it has been dented, broken, or has deep scratches in it. what is the asking price as is?
on a side note, that is the least desired paint for a f4i, and i hate everyone i see!
