donkason Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 I'm scraping fairings on my 09 Busa and I'm going to start looking for something a little less bloated. I'd love to get my hands on a litre bike that is track prepped or a salvage bike I can build. I tool around Craigslist and can't find much. Everybody wants a mint for 7 year old bikes and I'm not about to drop 8k and another 2k to convert it. I might as well track out what I have for that kind of jack.So where should I look besides Craigslist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
standout Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Easiest places to look are the forums of any of the racing/trackday organizationsNesbaSport bike track timeMotoserieswera just to name a few. It's rare you find any on craigslist because in comparison the market is much smaller. It's easiest to look were people share the same interest.

jbot Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 track bikes come up on ebay occasionally. from what i can see, you pretty much just want to look for salvage title bikes that are selling/auctioning for cheap and convert them yourself.

APCh8r Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 I know flounder has a well built 750 race bike on here that you might want to consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 There's tons of bikes to be had depending on your budget. No offense to Aaron, but I think he's a little high on his price but someone will buy it eventually.Sign up for the forums listed in the second post and hit the classifieds. You'll find something.

redkow97 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 mine is for sale here. I believe it's listed at $3100, but I'm flexible on that. PM me.It's a great bike, I just can't afford to ride it right now. I raced it last month at Nelson, and the only thing wrong with it was the nut between the seat and the bars.

donkason Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I'm working on a 2005 R1 a few states over with track gear for $2750. I'm calling today to set a pick up time. It's a salvage title, but most track bikes seem to be. It would be good to know where to spot tweaked frames and other key things to look at. The deal is so good there must be dead hooker smeared on that bike somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
