Hey, sorry to cross-post, but it only got 12 views so far in the Yamaha section. Anyway, I'd appreciate any input you could give me.
I currently ride a 'zook rf600, but am looking to upgrade (mainly due to transmission problems). I talked to a guy with an add in the paper for an '03 R1 salvage title, black w/ red flames. It has been mostly fixed (except a small ding in the stock can and small scrape on blinker). It seems that I can get it for $5500 USD, but I'm not sure what fair prices are for bikes in this situation.
Background on the bike was that it was all cosmetic (not flooded or anything), and no mechanical problems. Wasn't wrecked, so no bent frame or the like. ONLY cosmetic.
Is this price reasonable assuming the story he's giving me is correct?
