Hello guys. Sorry for asking so many questions but I want to know your opinions on which bike to get. First choice is a Honda 919. A 2002 with 9k miles for $2800! just out on clubman bars and it would be a dream bike! Only problem is that the fairings are yellow and the tank is painted. I am suspecting that the bike was crashed or something! the 919 never came in yellow. Here is the link btw. The owner emailed me saying it was already painted by the first owner. http://slo.craigslist.org/mcy/2253773767.html....my second choice is a 2005 GSXR 600 with 25k miles. Everything is perfect! no scratches and good fairings, but the engine was replaced. The current owner said that the first owner blew up the engine so he bought a new engine off ebay and installed it. The guy claims it runs perfect because he used it a lot on track. He sent me a video of him doing a wheelie which I know is not a good sign however he would let me test ride. Please let me know your opinions. Thanks.
 
I wouldn't buy either bike. Both sound a little weird. The gsxr sounds like it gets beat on pretty bad and if the owner installed the engine himself then there could be problems there. The other bike sounds odd because of the weird paint job. Take a look at both bikes and make sure you test rude both before buying. Like I said if it were me I wouldn't buy either one.
 
Run from both of them!

Only buy a track bike if you know the bike personally or you are ok with EVERYTHING going bad really quick.
