    Going to look at this during the week as i'm thinking to turn it into a trackbike, the guy took it on track and had a slow speed low side crash, it then went into his garage and has stood still for two years, its a road bike with V5 in the owners name.
    Considering it's been stood for so long what should I be looking for, I've asked him to charge the battery and change the oil and filter, I'm a bit worried old fuel may have gunked up the injectors ? also it looks like the rear subframe is a bit bent as the seat doesn't appear to be sat that well from the pics he has sent, how available are replacements and what cost ?

    Any suggestions for questions I should ask and things to look for would be extremely helpfull, I really cant afford to buy a lemon

    thank you

    I have some parts that may enable you to put on the road - tail unit (black) a metal bracket from round the seat

    Let me know how you get on - If you're not familiar with one of these at idle the engine can appear 'rough' but its just the cross plane crank firing order. Give it some revs and should smooth out.
