Jebus, that's a deal for a track bike n' spares.
I'm gonna lock that thread so no one else can have that bike. That is an amazing deal.
I'm sooooo tempted. Everything from my crashed r6 is a direct swap. But I promised I'd clean out the garage of bike carnage before even thinking about getting another track bike. And I really want to get a 650 Prod bike (in a year or two).
I hate you for letting me know about this.
That's my job. [evil]
Dude, you could sell the Vespa, and get a cheaper Japanese version and this trackbike.
It's not my Vespa to sell.
And it's not about the money, it's about the storage space :'(

Says the guy with 5 bikes downstairs.
Ya, but they're not in boxes.
...and one is real purty.
My garage is brimming with motorcycles too. We won't talk about how many bicycles I have. [laugh]
I've been eyeballing this too, strictly as a parts bike for my current r6. The total loss system is the only draw back I see in this bike for the casual track junkie.
I need a bigger garage. :(
It's not hard at all to get a new stator online (and a flywheel if necessary) and install it. The wiring will still be there.
Wonder why this is not selling? Could it be a busted 2nd gear?
Dunno. I guess a coupla reasons. It's a total loss system, which puts off lots of buyers b/c you either need two batteries (though it will run all day on one -- with two, you just switch 'em out at lunchtime) or you have to plug it in between session. It's actually not a big deal at all, but it seems like a problem. It's a former race bike and it's old, which lots of people are wary of. There's some work to do on it -- carbs or maybe more. And it's not streetable. None of that *should* put off a buyer, but it's the same reason that people won't buy a dirt bike even when underneath the dirt there's a pristine machine.
