Hi guys. What do you think of this?: https://www.gumtree.com/p/honda-motorbikes/2012-honda-cbr-1000rr-for-parts-or-track-/1169939583 Might be a cheap track tool but I don't want to have to spend too much getting it going. This bothers me though: Small fairing lug has cracked off frame so is Catogory B from Insurance therefore can not go back on the road, Surely a cat B would warrant heavier damage than that?
I would be asking for additional pictures.....pictures of the other side would allow a better understanding of the "slow speed drop". It looks like a proper chunk is missing from the other side top fairing.
It might be a 2012 registered bike but it is a 2011 model (fairings, colour scheme and 3 spoke wheels). Not that is matters too much but I thought I'd mention it to you. Just raises more questions...
If the frame is damaged in any way, not scratched, then it is generally a cat B. Costs too much for the insurance to pay out to re-frame it. As above, does not look like low speed. I'd avoid personally, by the time you have got it to where you want it with parts, you may aswell buy an already sorted blade for under 5k imo.
Its not a private sale and you need another huge batch of photos - looks like it may have gone into back of a truck or something - but not seeing other side hard to tell
Be very wary of this bike. Do not give them a deposit of any kind via moneygram or western union. I doubt it is genuine.
Thanks for the replies. I'm setting myself a budget limit of around £4K for a track bike so I think an RR6 would be a better bet.
